Default Not sure whether to use VLOOKUP or an IF statement

I am trying to figure out how to write either a vlookup or an if statement
for the following:

I have 3 columns - 1 is originating date, 2 is priority, 3 is a calulated
date field based on the combination of 1 and 2.

ie in column 1, originating date is November 23, 2008, column 2 shows "low",
column 3 needs to show column 1 + 5 days. Note that column 2 has 3 choices
high, medium and low. High being column 1 + 1 day for high, 1 + 2 days for
medium and 1 + 5 days for low. I wrote the vlookup table to show that if
column 2 shows 1(high), then take column 1 and add 1 day,etc.

The problem I am having is when I wrote my vookup, it is only picking up the
date that is in G2. How would I write my vookup to show that as I copy this
down to each new row, it picks up the new amount in column G and not just
what is in G2.



Priority Type Due Date
Critical - 24 Hrs =SUM('OI Table'!G2)+1
High - 2 Days =SUM('OI Table'!G2) + 2
Low - 5 Days =SUM('OI Table'!G2) + 5

Thanks
Allison
