Newbie question Pulling data from one sheet to another based on
Okay, Forgive me ahead of time, I really don't know much about Excel. I can work with templates and create simple formulas but alot of what I read here comes across as "Excelspeak" to me. Here is what I want to do: I have a price list sheet created. This price list has cells labled by name and then "duration", basically for every item there are four prices, based on duration of a rental or sale. I want to create a quote program that will pull data from the price list based on the quantities entered in the quote program. For example Price list is "System A, description, $1, $7, $14, $100" Each of these items divided by commas is a different cell so my plan is to basically duplicate the price list on another sheet with no prices displayed but when I ented a number into the respective column for each duration the program pulls the base data and multiplies it by the number entered and only displays this number. Then of course there are sums and sales taxes etc but I think I can do that already. Sorry, I know I'm not decribing this accurately but I hope you get the gist of what I am trying to do. I have tried to get "help" within Excel but, frankly I just don;t follow most of what is said.

Newbie question Pulling data from one sheet to another based on
Anne, That is very helpful, in general thank you. The problem is that each part number has four prices. So qty doesn't work in this instance. What I wanted to do was be able to enter a number into the appropriate column & cell (i.e. part#,daily rate) and have that number multiplied by the price already entered into the price sheet in the same work book. I don't know if this makes sense or not. Basically I have a price list and now I would like a nearly identical sheet that references the prices list for certain cells. I know this can be done and probably isn't that hard...I just don't have the lingo for this stuff yet. -- Tony Canevaro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tony Canevaro's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28292 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=478640 |

Newbie question Pulling data from one sheet to another based on
I think my core problem may be that I am trying to use the data entered into a field to affect and display data in that same field. I think I will have to create a "dummy" price list with seperate labels for each type of price for each part number. ?????????? -- Tony Canevaro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tony Canevaro's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28292 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=478640 |

Newbie question Pulling data from one sheet to another basedon
Hi Tony
Let's say your pricelist is on Sheet1. Row 1 contains the headings as you describe and A2:F2 contains the data, or more correctly A2:F100 assuming you have 99 items listed. On your quote sheet, Sheet2, you enter in cell A2 the item name, and in B2 the time period, 1 to 4. To pick up the other information, then use Vlookup formulae If you want description to appear in C2 then in C2 =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$100,2,0) To pick up the price for the relevant time period, in column D then in D2 =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$100,B2+2,0) So, if you put a 1 in B2 you would get prices from Column C on Sheet1, if you put 4 in B2, you would get prices from column F. Change ranges to suit. Note, if your sheet names are not sheet1 sheet2 etc, and have spaces in the names, then you must enclose the sheet names in single quotes 'My Pricelist'!$A$1:$A$100 Regards Roger Govier Tony Canevaro wrote: Okay, Forgive me ahead of time, I really don't know much about Excel.

I feel like I am so close. Thanks for all of you help so far. Roger, I feel like that should work...but I can't seem to get it right. I uploaded a copy of the file I am trying to work with. Is there something fundamentally wrong with this pricelist that would cause me to have problems? If anyone is willing to try and tackle this Iwould be forever in debt. http://home.armourarchive.org/member.../Sample%20XLS/ -- Tony Canevaro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tony Canevaro's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28292 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=478640 |

Wow, sooo close. I added a Qty column and then a Price column. Then I used the formula =(E3*D3) copied down. Works great except for the cells that have no data, I get a #Value error. As sson as there is data in the field it all works well enough for my purpose but how can I hide, or fix this? -- Tony Canevaro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tony Canevaro's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28292 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=478640 |

Another alternative (along the same lines as the error trap used in col D in
the sample's set-up) with "Qty" input in E3 down and "Price" to be calculated in F3 down .. Put in F3, copy down: =IF(OR(D3="",E3=""),"",E3*D3) Or, we could amend the 1st part of the formula in col D to return zeros instead of blanks: "" (the null string "" is what causes the downstream error #VALUE! in col F) i.e. use in D3, copied down: =IF(OR(A3="",C3=""),0, ... instead of: =IF(OR(A3="",C3=""),"", ... Then to calc the price, just use in F3, copied down: =E3*D3 New lines w/o data will then simply show up as zeros in cols D & F And if desired, for a cleaner look, we could suppress the display of zeros in the sheet via clicking: Tools Options View tab Uncheck "Zero values" OK -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- Singapore, GMT+8 xdemechanik http://savefile.com/projects/236895 -- |
