I am trying to apply 10%tax when tax needs to be applied (i.e. when next to
the item I have placed a y. If there is no tax to be added, (i.e. displayed
by an n, then I want it to display 0%. I have placed the 10% tax amount in a
cell on it's own, in this case B2,
Please help, this is driving me nuts ;)

Assume in B4 down will be the indicators: y, n
In say, C4: =IF(B4="y",$B$2,0)
Format C4 as percentage
Copy down

=if(c2="y",$b$2,0)
or

=if(c2="y",(1+$b$2)*d2,0)

Hi
Let say A5 is your price: B5 is Y or N: B2 your 10%.
=IF(B5="Y",A5*1.1,A5)
Try that.
