In future, please do not SHOUT.

Put this formula in F2:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,B3:B13,0)),"not valid",IF(B2="ST",
2*(C2+D2+E2),IF(B2="HR",8*C2+2*D2,C2+D2+E2)))

You didn't have a condition for B2="CH" - this assumes C2+D2+E2.

Hope this helps.

I WANT THE FORMULA *IN F2 *IF B2=BB OR TB OR S OR SB OR Z OR SCB1 OR SCB2
THEN F2= C2+D2+E2 THEN *, IF B2=ST THEN F2=2*( C2+D2+E2) ,IF B2=TB THEN
C2+D2+E2, IF B2=HR THEN F2= 8*A+2*B.
PLEASE DO THE NEEDFUL.
