    Question How can I have an idex formula and if zero in 1 cell?

    I have created a Pricing Calculator to quote my customers. This calculator is very specific to the printing industry. The printing industry has many variables, like number of colors being printed, how many pieces, and how many locations as well as the cost of the blank garment.
    So sometimes I will need 4 cells to add up the locations and sometimes I only need 1. If I just delete the info in the cells I don't need for that particular Quote, then the formula is gone.
    I am not even sure how to ask exactly what I need. Sorry. This is my first post, but even after watching 20 Excel videos on Youtube, I cannot figure out what I need to do.

    I think what I need to happen (I don't know if it is possible) is to have an if zero enter zero, if otherwise enter the index formula in the same cell. When I try it, it doesn't work.

    Please help!

    perhaps this would help us if you mocked up what you needed

    =IF( 4cells , 4 cell index formula , 1 cell index formula )


    Please upload a small clean sample of your data / workbook (not a picture) to the forum, Make sure you have removed any private information, remember this is a public forum and so available to anyone
    We would like to see an example of your data and also a manual mock up of the expected results you want to achieve.

    To attach a file to your post,

    scroll down until you see "manage Attachments",
    click that and select "Choose File" (top Left corner).
    Find your file, click "Open" click "upload" click 'close windows" Top Right. click "Submit Reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    As well as showing a sample WB, you could also share what formula/s you are trying to adjust?
    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
