If function
 

I have 6 employees with different pay rate. If I enter a name in a cell I
want the next cell to show the pay rate associated with that person. How do
I do that

If function
 

The best way, especially since there may be future changes, would be to use
a vlookup table. Look in the help index for VLOOKUP

If function
 

=IF(A1="Emp1",1.01,IF(A1="Emp2",2.02,IF(A1="Emp3", 3.03,IF(A1="Emp4",4.04,IF(A1="Emp5",5.05,IF(A1="Em p6",6.06,""))))))

all on one line, watch out for word-wrap......

Adjust to suit
