entering data
 

sure, this makes perfect sense :)

start with this, and then change references as needed:

in Column A enter:
household
otherword
household
household

In column B put some numerical values ex:
300
300
300
300

In cell C1 enter: (fill this formula down col)

=IF(A1="household",B1*2,"household not entered")

' here b1 * 2 is the math formula carried out if "household" is in the
adjacent A column cell
