    Question Food Truck Cost spreadsheet assistance please

    Hi folks, I have a food truck and am trying to build a spreadsheet that shows me the costs of each menu item. I (Clumsily) built the attached that has dropdowns in each column of available ingredients from the Ingredients tab. As you can see, at the end of the first row I was able to successfully get a cost and create a sell price. However when I duplicate the row, the cell references need to be fixed so that it looks at the correct table. Once that is done, the totals don't work anymore.

    As i am greener than green at Excel, perhaps someone can show me a better way? Thanks so much in advance, Lance.

    Hi there,

    I have replaced your formulas witha simpler INDEX/MATCH formula which should do what you require.
    Let us know if that works for you.

    If you don't have too many menu items, my advice is to work directly on the Ingredients sheet.

    Create Menu Item across the Ingredients sheet and add in a portion column (you may use different portion of same ingredient for different menu items).
