Fill cells automatically from 2 variables
Hello - I am trying to add a function to a spreadsheet that means when 2
variables are completed (currency & month - 4 options on each) it returns a predetermined value. I thought I'd nearly got there (with a large amount of help) by using a combination of If & AND functions, but it keeps giving an error message. Can anyone help? In case, I'm not being clear, I need a formula that will deal with this: If M =1, C=1, then E = a If M =1, C=2, then E = b If M =1, C=3, then E = c If M =1, C=4, then E = d If M =2, C=1, then E = e If M =2, C=2, then E = f If M =2, C=3, then E = g If M =2, C=4, then E = h If M =3, C=1, then E = i If M =3, C=2, then E = j If M =3, C=3, then E = k If M =3, C=4, then E = l If M =4, C=1, then E = m If M =4, C=2, then E = n If M =4, C=3, then E = o If M =4, C=4, then E = p Where M and C are selected by the user from 4 options, and E is the result given from values that I have provided. Any ideas? Many thanks N |

Fill cells automatically from 2 variables
Hi,
Set up a table like this 1 2 3 4 1 a e i m 2 b f j n 3 c g k o 4 d h l p then us a formula like this =INDEX($B$2:$E$5,MATCH(A11,$A$2:$A$5,),MATCH(A12,$ B$1:$E$1,)) In this case the user is picking the M value from A11 and C value from A12 and the above table is in A1:E5 -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Fill cells automatically from 2 variables
So, are you saying that in your example "a", "b", "c" etc represent
values that you want to return rather than those letters literally? One way of doing it is to put those values in a column somewhere, eg in X1:X16, in the order shown, then you could use this in the cell you refer to as E: =INDEX(X$1:X$16,(M-1)*4+C) where M and C will have to be changed to the cell references that they represent. You might like to build in some error-checking: =IF(OR(M="",C=""),"",INDEX(X$1:X$16,(M-1)*4+C)) Hope this helps.

Try this:
=CHAR(4*M1+C1+92) "Ned Harrison" wrote: Hello - I am trying to add a function to a spreadsheet that means when 2 variables are completed (currency & month - 4 options on each) it returns a predetermined value.

Hi Teetless mama,
That's what I would have answered if I was able to set-up the formula. Was busy with M1^2 and didn't see 4*M1. Wkr, JP "Teethless mama" wrote in message ...

Thanks people for all the responses. I've used Shane's version which seems
to work fine for what I need - but I really appreciate all the help. All of your solutions look a lot simpler than my starting point. Cheers! |
