    Formula for Inventory that calulates an item using different components and tracking of

    I have a column in my table named Serves which needs to record serves of says drinks which is easy as that is a straight multiplication of 'Size' by 'Tot Qty"
    However when I get to the items "Sausages, Bread, Sauce and Onions" the serves will be controlled by the info in the second table.

    Table one will double in size every week and I only want to calculate the formula once so it will continue as the table grows.

    Have been trying all sorts of things for two days now and keep running into brick walls.

    A copy of the file is attached.

    Thanks for your help

    Michael

    Please add your results manually to the sample table to show what you want.

    There are reference errors in column D and column J.

    New file attached showing wanted column results

    Errors occur because this is an extract of the full workbook

    You should have copied and pasted values to those columns I mentioned before posting. Because of the errors, I am unable to test this, but you can try it:

    =IF([@[Buy Unit]]="Pack",[@Size]*[@[Tot Qty]],VLOOKUP([@[Item Description]],Unit_Size,4,0)*[@[Tot Qty]])
