I'm trying to include two buttons to an Excel sheet - an UP button and a DOWN. These buttons will increase (or decrease) another column of cells (for eg. A1, B3, C7...) by increments of 0.1 on each click.
These cells (A1, B3, C7... as above) will also have an IF function corresponding to a drop down list (=IF(A100="Shirt",10,"") In other words, a they will have a BASE number once an item is slected from the drop down list. I want to increase/dcrease these numbers by 0.1 when I click the UP and DOWN buttons.
I'm using Excel 2003 if it helps. Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

A cell has a value (number, text, whatever) or a formula in it. It can't have both.
If you have a value in it, you could have buttons to increase it or decrease it.
The only way that I can think of that you can do this is to have a separate cell, which your formula has a dependency on, that you increase or decrease.
Why do you want to do this?

Hi TMShucks, thanks for replying.
I didn't know you couldn't have both a value and formula in a cell. Thanks for pointing that out.
Back story:
- I've got 3 items to sell: Shirt, Pants & Watch - across 10 states.
- Each item has a minimum BUT different rate of sale across each state.
- I want to set a minimum sales amount in State A for Shirt (hence the DropDown List and =IF(DropDownList="Shirt",10,IF(DropDownList="Pants",5)
- With this minimum sales amount, I want to increase/decrease that number to set a sales Target for that specific State.
I hope I'm making senseAnd again, thank you for your response.
I'd be inclined to have a matrix with the 10 states across the top and the products down the left column. I'd include the base price for each product and increments for each state.
In the example attached, the increments are simple numbers but you could make them percentage increases.
If you name each State column and each Product row, you can have a simple formula, for example,
=StateA Watch
Even if you don't choose that, with the matrix, you could have two drop down boxes, one for product and one for state, and use something like SUMPRODUCT or INDEX/MATCH.

Same example with drop down boxes

TMShucks, thank you for responding! It is much appreciated. I used the matrix you mentioned and added Spinner Buttons for fine tuning the sales figure for each state.
I've attached my Excel sheet which I finally came up with.
You've been a great help! Thanks again.
You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback.
