Creat a formula for multiplying a formula
Someone on this site was kind enough to give me the following formula:
=LOOKUP(A1,{0,"";1,50;2,100;3,120}) Now however I need to multiply the formula contained in this cell by a number entered into another cell in the same row. So say A1 = People, B1 = Days, C1 = Above formula (calculating cost for the amount of people, D1 needs to = the price for that amount of people for that amount of days, I tried =SUM(B1*C1), obviously easy is not the best choice, all I get is #VALUE! and after trying the suggested remedies I've had no luck. Thank you to anyone taking the time to answer this! :) Kylie |

Creat a formula for multiplying a formula
Hi Kylie,
Just keep it simple with the multiplication operator (=B1*C1) or if you're using a function, try =PRODUCT(B1,C1).
