I am trying to build a formula that will do different calculations based
on the letter in I21. Can someone lend some advice on how to right
this.



=Main!G3*SUMIF(I21,"T",H21),Main!C3*SUMIF(I21,"M", B21),MainC4*SUMIF(I21,"A",B21)

Hi!

One way:

=Main!G3*IF(OR(I21={"M","A"}),B21,IF(I21="T",H21,0 ))

Ooops!

Disregard my previous reply.

=Main!G3*SUMIF(I21,"T",H21),Main!C3*SUMIF(I21,"M", B21),MainC4*SUMIF(I21,"A",B21)

Not really sure what you're wanting to do with this. Maybe:

=Main!G3*SUMIF(I21,"T",H21)+Main!C3*SUMIF(I21,"M", B21)+MainC4*SUMIF(I21,"A",B21)

Or:

=SUM(Main!G3*(I21="T")*H21,Main!C3*(I21="M")*B21,M ain!C4*(I21="A")*B21)

Thank you, I’m going to play with these.

Background ….I built a quoting sheet for the estimators. In the main
spread sheet I used the formula

=Main!G3*SUMIF(I21,"T",H21) for the tax column.

Main!G3 is my tax rate
I21 is the column
I put the letter in of the product is taxable
And H21 is the pretax total for the product.

All works great.

In this spread sheet I had a section for mechanic and helper rates and
the hours quoted. I was asked by them of I could bring this
information into the main quoting spreadsheet. This is so they could
break down the labor required for a given product when required.

I was thinking since I use T to look up the Tax amount then there must
be a way I could use M to look up the mechanic rate and A to look up the
apprentice rate if one of these letters were selected.

So in essence the product quantity cell would become the mechanic or
apprentice hours if M or A was chosen. If nether was chosen it would
just use the standard calculations I gather that’s where the SUMIF
comes in.

WOW, Thanks man ... you wrote it for me.

=SUM(Main!G3*(I21="T")*H21,Main!C3*(I21="M")*B21,M ain!C4*(I21="A")*B21)

Seams to work .... Just playing with it now.
