I am writing a spreadsheet as a report for a customer and i want to show the following in the sheet.
A customer buys 12 of XProduct (retails £2)
A customer buys 15 of YProduct (retails £3)
A customer buys 20 of ZProduct (retails £5)
I want the sheet to have columns stating - Amount Bought - Product - Gross Amount.
And i want to be able to have the product column intelligent enough to know that if i type any of my products sold it will automatically attribute the correct cost (i.e. I type in Xproduct and it knows that value is £2) so that in the Gross Amount column it will all make sense, and save me having to manually put in the retail cost each time which will occasionally change. At present i have the same three columns and i multiply the Amount Bought with what i know is the cost and do the sum myself and then enter the result in excel - so i want to save time. Can this be done?
I am new to excel, hope you can help
