Merging

Every 4 white makes a green.
Every 4 green makes a blue.
Every 4 blue makes a purple
Every 4 purple makes an orange.

What can I do to write this so that if I enter a number XX number of orange I can find out how many white I need?

If number of orange in A1: Please try =4^4*A1 (or =256*A1)

That worked. I kind of wanted to see all the values leading up to orange. But my EndGoal is met thank you.

You are welcome, thx for the feedback. Glad you met your met EndGoal.
