    IF formula help required for multiple combinations

    I have no idea if or how I can achieve this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    In cell A1 I have a drop down box. The options in the list are A B C D E F

    In cell B1 I have a second drop down box. The options in this list are 1 2 3 4 5 6

    In cell C1 I have a third drop down box. The options in this list are U V W X Y Z

    On another worksheet I have results that I want to show in D1 depending on which combination has been chosen.

    For example if I have chosen C 3 Z I want the corresponding figure on the other worksheet to show in cell D1

    But I need to cover each combination in the same formulae.

    I hope this makes sense.

    Re: Help needed with multiple combinations

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    If I knew what I was after I would do a google search myself. Thats why at the begining of my post I state "I have no idea if or how I can achieve this. Any help will be greatly appreciated."
    OK title has been changed

    Re: IF formula help required for multiple combinations

    if the actual values on sheet 2 are C 3 Z I, then you could concatenate the results of your 3 dropdowns, and do a vlookup into sheet2 based on that concatenate (=A1&B1&C1)

    if that doesnt work for you, i would suggest you upload a sample file for us to look at
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    One of the main reasons for the title rule is just so that others can use google, or whatever to do a web search. Titles like yours make that hard/useless. Another reason is that it gives forum members a chance to decide whether they can, or want to, try to help without reading the actual post.
