Function usage and outcome clarification
I am attempting to derive a number (cost) if eihter of the two adjacent
column cells have whole numbers. The cost factor is a constant 11. So I tried forcing the IF funcion then a combination of IF and OR but once I suspect I got the formatting correct all I could get were alpha characters in the cost column. Would someone please direct me how to get the numeric number in the cost colum by multiplying either or both of the cells in the subsequent adjacent cells in the row? Thanks -- Shed2 |

Can you post an example with the desired result?

Sheet should look something like this
a b c 1 Cost Monday Tue 2 11 1 3 22 2 4 11 1 5 33 2 1 SO, for each quantity in column b or c I want to multiply either/or with 11 to create the cost that days activity.

Sorry the outcome did not properly simulate the desired form. I hope this

Try one of these entered in A2 then copied down as needed:
If you only have column B and C to deal with: =11*(B2+C2) If you have more than just 2 columns: =11*SUM(B2:H2) Where H2 represents the column for Sunday -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "CharlieEcho561" wrote in message ...

Thank you very much Biff. I am sorry I had to leave the discussion last
evening but I applied your suggestion this morning and it rendered exactly what I desired. I feel rather shallow seeing that the formulation was so rudimentary and I need not have gone through such elaborate means to accomplish my desired result. Since this is my first exposure into this posting for help method, I have another problem with a budget sheet I am working on. The challenge is I would like to have totals for subparts within the column but I do not want the intermittent subtotals in the column to misrepresent the grand total for expenses in the column? I have tried subtotaling but I seem top need to go through the column and apply the subtotal cells into a long =sum() formulation. Do you recommend my initiating a new posting into the discussion arena or is there another recommended method for easily answering this delema? -- Shed2 "T.

Thanks Biff and here is my shot at how it might be represented. The
worksheet is about 8 columns wide by about 450 rows long if that makes a difference. I used a SUM funcrtion like this =sum(B5+B10) to include only the subtotals in the columns.

There are a few ways to do this and it all depends on the setup.
One way that requires a slightly different setup. List the item for each sub-item like this: Screws__Item__Cost Screws__Item 2__10 Screws__Item 3 __20 Screws__Item 4__30 Nails__Item 6__10 Nails__Item 7__20 Nails__Item 8__30 Let's assume that data is in the range A1:C7 Select the range A1:C7 Goto the menu DataSubtotals Make these selections in the user form: At each change in: Screws Use function: Sum Add subtotal to: Cost OK out -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "CharlieEcho561" wrote in message ...

Thanks Biff! I tried this to a segment and it works for the subtotaling
woderfully and smooth. It gets a bit busy with all of the labels in column A, looks rather duplicative. Unfortunately the items are standard governmental lables and tough to change into some generic names for ease of 'EXCELing'. Also there are something like 60 different item names. Is there another way to change this existing spreadsheet in this slick fashion and still not do what might be considered as major overhall? Bare in mind the rows are about 400 lines.

Thanks you very much Biff. Please accept my apology for forgetting to send
you off a response for all your efforts. You have been a tremendous help. I agree with your recommendation for using the subtotal feature. It is obviously less cumbersome and it will be less intrusive to the old spreadsheet I have to work with. Again thank you very much for sharing your expertise and for being available and persistent with your guidance. Ed "T. Valko" wrote: Here's a small sample file that demonstrates 3 different setups.
