Thanks for your response. I have the answer to my question, but now the
ball game has changed again, hopefully I can sort out myself with what
information I have received. Otherwise I will be calling on you assistance
again.
Thanking you

When do you apply the Breakdown cost to the total?
Is it added *only* when there is a "w"?

=COUNTIF(F2:K2,"w")*(C2+E2-D2)+D2*6

If not, you'll have to explain further.

Thank you for your quick response, this is great.

Please can you help in another issue that has arisen with the same
scenario.

There is now an extra field required eg BREAKDOWN, how can I include this
to
be another option.
I have also tried to fix the N/A option. If you know of a quick solution
that would also be helpful.

Thanking you

Assume that C2 will *always* be larger then D2:

Hi
I have used the formula below for adding across cells if certain
criteria.
This does work, however is there a cleaner way of doing this. Example
Data
below:

C2 = Working Shift Cost
D2 = Idle Shift Cost
E2 to J2 represents days of the week (Mon - Sat) and a Total is
required
for
this cost. Using Excel 2007



=SUM(IF(E2="W",C2,D2)+(IF(F2="w",C2,D2))+(IF(G2="w ",C2,D2))+(IF(H2="w",C2,D2
))+(IF(I2="w",C2,D2))+(IF(J2="w",C2,D2)))
Thanking you
