Calculate Based on Drop Down Item Selected
I have a cost estimation worksheet that includes a drop down list. When the user selects from the list, I want to apply a factor based on their selection and multiply it by a total (on a different worksheet). For example, if they select "Low" from the list, I want to multiply 10% by a total cost cell (which is on a different worksheet) and put the result in a different cell. How do I do this? -- JenB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JenB's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=37719 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=573105 |

Calculate Based on Drop Down Item Selected
If your drop-down is in cell A1, calc could be:
=IF(A1="Low",B1*OtherSheet!A1,IF(A1="Mid",B1*Other Sheet!A2,IF(A1="High",B1*OtherSheet!A3,""))) So if A1 reads "High" the calc multiplies B1 by cell A1, if A1 says "Mid" it multiplies B1 by A2, if A1 says "High" it multiplies B1 by A3, and if it is empty, then it does nothing.
