    Product IF Function

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm trying to multiply values in column B if the values in column A meet a certain criteria. Example:
    Column A: discount type
    Column B: discount value

    Column A Column B
    Rebate 2%
    Rebate 1.5%
    Discount 3%
    Discount 2%
    Rebate 5%

    Ideally, it should multiply 2%*1.5%*5%.

    What's the easiest way to do this? I've only been seeing sumproducts but it doesn't really solve for my purpose.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    This is probably way too simplitsic, but...
    =B2*B3*B6

    Otherwise, can you wxplain how you ID which values to use?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Hi Ford,

    Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately, that formula is indeed too simplistic...
    Column A would be the identifier. The type of discount (Column A) could be varied depending on customer contractual agreements.

    I guess what's not explained here is that there is a Column C which details the specifics of Column A (e.g. prompt payment discount, volume discount...etc.). The type of discount could then vary depending on customer contract.

    Hope this explains myself better?
