    Complex formulas in my excel spreadsheet

    I'm not great with excel (hence why I'm posting here), therefore I have little knowledge of the technical terms used to describe what I need to do.

    Put simply, I sell signs. Customer orders a sign and specifies size (ie 1000mm x 500mm). The price is then affected by how many lines of text on sign. So two signs the same size, will cost different if they have different amounts of text. This is based on the number of text lines. So column 2 would have prices in for one line of text. Column 3 for two lines, and so on.

    What I hope to achieve is a point where I can input the width and height of the signs, and the number of text lines, and have a cell which is autofilled with the corresponding cost.

    Is this even possible?

    Thanks

    It is possible. We would need more information on your combination and pricing scheme however to provide more help.

    Re: Complex formulas in my excel spreadsheet

    Maybe 4 columns

    Width, Height, Number of text lines, cost

    with a formula in column D

    =IF(C1=1,500,IF(C1=2,750,IF(C1=3,1000)))
    Where 1, 2, 3 lines of text cost 500,750 and 1000
    or if the cost of a text line is the same throughout then
    the formula would be

    =C1 * 500

    if it was £500 a text line.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Attachment 391664

    I have attached the above image. I would like to input details into cells Q3, 4 and 5. Which would then give me a price for that sign in Q9. As you can see...I'd like to do this for multiple labels in the same sheet.

    Re: Complex formulas in my excel spreadsheet

    Please take a moment to read the forum rules and then amend your thread title to something descriptive of your problem - not what you think the answer might be. (think google search terms?). Once you have done this please send me a PM and I will remove this request. (Also, include a link to your thread - copy from the address bar)

    Many members search our previous posts, and thread titles play a big part of the search. I doubt anybody would do a search based on your title?

    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT POST then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    Also, Please upload a sample of your workbook, not a picture of your data. Pictures are pretty much impossible to edit, and no-one wants to re-type your data for you
    Also, not all members can upload picture files (Company firewalls and stuff) - and, depending on what browser is being used, some pics dont even show up on the forum

    Your workbook should show a small desensitized example of the data you are working with and a manual mockup of the expected results.
    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

    Regards
