Hello All,

My first post here as i am very stuck with a very complex formula.

-=See attachment=-

Please if you can help grab the attachment so you know what i am on
about.

This is my problem. I have 6 columns of data labeled
- Item, Date, Qty, Quality, Action, Charater.

What i want is the formula to search A11 to F41 (F41 will be greater
with more data entered) for a word in column A say *Medium Leather*
then look for the value in column C of that word found in column A and
continue.

I have achieved this but when it has found the 1st word it doesn't
continue on to find another word of the same. This is what i have
used.

=VLOOKUP("Medium Leather",A11:F41,3,)

Then on top of that i want it to look in column E for one of two words.
Deposit and Withdrawn. I want the formula to add the data found in
column C when the word Deposit has been found in column E, and
subtracted if the word Withdrawn has been found.

This infomation needs to be placed in the Qty column in the *Totals
Table* next to the corresponding Item.

So. basically i want

- Search Entire *Data Table* A - F, 11 - ** for Item
- Get value in C
- Work out if C value is - or + from E (Deposit = +, Withdrawn = -)
- Get current total value sum in I

I think you could only iunderstand if you download the attachment.

Thanks in advanced.
