You need a database of your products with their prices, either in the same
sheet, in another sheet in the same workbook, or in another workbook. Say
this list is named Productlist. This list must be sorted. In A2 you then
enter the name of the product, in B2 the quantity, and in C2 the following
formula:
=IF(A2="","",VLOOKUP(A2,Productlist,2,FALSE)*B2)
