    Check 4 cells for a value (EASY)

    hi, i reckon this is very easy to do, but i dont know what im doing

    e.g

    i have 5 cells a1, a2, a3, a4, a5

    i will be putting a yes in either a1, a2, a3 or a4 manually

    if i do put a yes in one of these i want A5 to work out which cell i put the yes into and then to do something different

    e.g if yes is in A1 add 10
    if yes is in A2 add 20
    if yes is in A3 add 30
    if yes is in A4 add 40

    hope this makes sense

    Thanks

    Maybe this...

    =IFERROR(MATCH("yes",A1:A4,0)*10,"")
