    Help with using a work sheet to compile data

    This site was recommended to me by a friend and well here is my first post! OK the first sheet in my workbook is a simple spread sheet that the user inputs data into. based on the data the user inputs i have a hidden worksheet that compiles the data and based on the findings a result is given back to a field in the first worksheet. so far so good buy i need this hidden worksheet to clear out the data so that for each row of data it will compile just the data in that row. so for example... if row one looks like this
    1,4,6,Yes
    the hidden work sheet compiles 1+4(6)=25 is less then 50 so YES
    then i would like to clear and start the process over for the next row. the formulas i am using is much more complicated then this but it is the basic idea. thanks all and hope to help out around here some how some way!

    Hi
    It's not clear from your post how the figures are added/multiplied to get
    whichever result you require. I think the only option is probably a macro.

    the " hidden work sheet" will look up a value in a1 for value #1 and a6 for value #2 and a12 for value #3. With this data from the cells a set of calculations produce a number that is associated to a result so then i would like this result to be populated in cell a22. but each row is a different day so then the cell range that is looked up by the "hidden worksheet"changes to the row letter. i need to know how to have it look in the row that has the latest data entered and go get that information out of those 3 cells and then populate to last cell with the result. I hope this is clear but at 7:30 am after a long weekend i did my best. thanks for the help and would love to hear what you have to think!
