Expenses formula (drop-downs and IF-formulas) / Noobie

[Likane]

Hi everyone,

I have the calculator sheet where I have five drop-down boxes from "Data Sheet". Idea is to have the overall price for the customer of the service. So on the data sheet first of all we have:

1) Fixed cost, i.e. 1000€
2) Variable Cost 1: "John" and next block the price of John, i.e. "1000EUR"
3) VC2: "Sauna" - yes -no question, IF; yes; then "800EUR"
4) VC3: "Food" - With or w/o BF
5) VC4: "Lecturer" - Multiple options, a list in Column and next column the price of the particular lecturer
6) Multiplier: How many participants i.e. from 5 to 15 as minimum and maximum.

So Function: FX + Multiplier(VC1, VC2, etc) = Overall cost

Thanks in advance!
Pentti

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

To attach a file to your post,
click advanced (next to quick post),
scroll down until you see "manage file",
click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

And here the attached excel, which pretty much should open up my dilemma and level of IQ.

Why are you trying to overcomplicate this? Just add a values column to the quotation sheet and perform SUMIFs.

Something like this:

Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit

	B	C	D
2	Firebody laskulaattori v.1.0	Valitse	Cost
3	Osallistujien määrä	5	5000
4	Vetäjä	Stenius	1200
5	Sauna	Ei	0
6	Ruoka	Aamupalalla	50
7	Luennon vetäjä		0
8	Kokopaketin hinta (ALV 0) €		6250

Sheet: Laskuri

=IFERROR(Data!B5*[@Valitse],SUMIF(Data!$C$5:$I$15,[@Valitse],Data!$D$5:$J$15))
