Default If cell contains a value, multiply...

I had a break and came back to it, and this works I think (where prices are
held in A13 and A14):
=SUM(IF(M2=10,A13, IF(M2=25,A14)), IF(O2=10,A13, IF(O2=25,A14))...)

Thanks for the help Jacob :)

Thanks for the reply. This would be fine...but on thinking about it more,
there is another complication - the unit price is different if the customer
orders more plants!
I'm thinking maybe the calculator is easier after all...

Try the formula with your data placed in the below manner

Row 1 contains the product names
Row 2 the corresponding rates
Row 3; try entering the quantities

Col A Col B Col C Col D Col E Col F
Products Product 1 Product 2 Product 3 Product 4
Rate $5.00 $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 Total
5 2 =formula


=SUMPRODUCT(B3:E3,$B$2:$E$2)

I have a speadsheet containing customer order details. If a customer orders
10 of one item and 5 of another item, I enter 10 in the column of the first
item, and 5 in the column of the second item...etc

I would like to be able to work out the total cost of the items in another
column automatically. Normally I would do £4.50 x 10 if a customer wanted 10
of an item, and so on manually until I had their grand total.
Is there anyway I can do this automatically?

Something like: SUM (IF cell A1 contains any value multiply by £4.50 (IF B1
contains any value multiply by £7.50...)) and so on across the speadsheet.

Could I also put the item costs elsewhere in the speadsheet to make it
easier it update price changes?

Many thanks for any suggestions/help :) Jess
