automatically insert salary based on job title
I have an Excel worksheet with a column indicating approx. 11
different positions (this number will probably increase). I would like Excel to automatically insert a salary in one column based on the job title inserted in the column prior. e.g. Supervisor typed in one column with automatically insert the salary in the next column $100,000.00 Foreman typed in will automatically insert $75,000.00 in the next column (Salary column) Labour - $50,000.00 will insert in next column Labour + 10 yrs will insert $55,000.00 Labour + 20 yrs will insert $60,000.00 etcetera.... I am a basic Excel user and have been trying IF as well as IF AND and have been getting a lot of errors. I would also be interested in a column that has a person with a Labour title, automatically change to Labour+ 10 yrs, once the 10 years from the start date has been reached. This would then change the salary automatically (per above) to an increased amount. Thank you. |

Take a look at VLOOKUP in Excel Help - this will do what you want to do
quite easily. Hope this helps. Pete wrote in message ... I have an Excel worksheet with a column indicating approx. 11 different positions (this number will probably increase).

Hi,
Suppose you want the user to type in "Labour + 10" and so on into cell A1 The create a 2 column table somewhere in your spreadsheet - in the first column list all the entries the user may make, in the second column list the associated salaries. Assuming that if the Labor is between Labour + 10 and Labour + 20 you enter Labour + 10, not Labour + 12.5, you then could create the following formula in cell B1. Let's assume your rate table runs from D1:E15 =VLOOKUP(A1,D1:E15,2,FALSE) This means lookup the entry in A1 in the first column of the range D1:E15 and return the value from the second column if column A is an exact match to what the user typed. I would avoid Labour + 10 and use Labour+10 this way it's easier to spot typos, because Excel will not return a result if the item typed into A1 does not match an entry in the salary table exactly. (case not important.) -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire " wrote: I have an Excel worksheet with a column indicating approx. 11 different positions (this number will probably increase).
