    Sure. You'll need some data (ie weights of each material per specific measurements). Other numbers can be calculated from that, except for the relationship between the coil diameter and the length or weight of the material. I'd guess the second would require some knowledge or understanding of calculus.

    Dynamic Dropdowns for the unit & material selections, driving into different lookup tables using INDEX(MATCH), multiplied by a unit conversion if necessary.

    Manual input where necessary. All of that feeds into the output value calculations.

    Wrap =IF(ISBLANK, "", calculation) to keep the output calculation cells empty until you've got enough data, if you'd like.

    Coliled up that means Pi x r^2 = 0.2

    The calculator returns:- 71mm when you use a spool of diameter 50mm

    Enter 200 into the coloured text box.

    I have only programmed that one textbox of the four optional boxes.

    I will do the rest once someone checks my math.

    I just realised that a tiny modification of the code will dramatically improve the Userform.

    When Testing to see if textboxes 5 to 8 are empty.
    Instead of simply exiting, set the WFlag to 0 and then exit.

    I have no VBA or even Excel here. I am crippled.
