    Reference cost list

    We have a excel spreadsheet we are making to generate quotes for our customers. We want to have a reference price list for our items so we can just enter a code number in one column and a quantity in another and based on the code it will look at the reference price list for the cost per item that matches that code and then multiply that by the quantity to give us a total.

    Hopefully that makes sense. If not I'll try to come up with a better explanation.

    I tried searching on google for how to do this, but I couldn't think of what to search for.

    Thanks for any help!

    Graham

    but we don't



    Attach a sample workbook, not a picture. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Re: Reference cost list

    something like this?
    =INDEX('Price List'!$B$3:$B$5,MATCH('Quote List'!E2,'Price List'!$A$3:$A$5,0))*F2

    If you don't like #N/A you can use IFNA() or IFERROR()

    Thanks for such quick responses.

    I can't seem to download the file you attached. I get this message. "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

    I tried to input the formula you posted, but it didn't seem to work for me. I'm off for the weekend so I'll give this another go on Monday.

    Have a great weekend!

    Re: Reference cost list

    this is exactly for your example
    C2: =INDEX('Price List'!$B$3:$B$5,MATCH('Quote List'!A2,'Price List'!$A$3:$A$5,0))*B2 and drag down
