    Quotation Project

    Hi,

    First post on here and i could do with some help if anyone can help me!

    I am doing A Level ICT at 6th Form. I have chosen to create a quotation for a printing company as a minor project. The project needs to be able to create a quotation from the requirement's inputted.

    I am have become stuck in the design stage and could do with a few pointers if anyone could suggest some.

    Obviously there are many different products in the printing industry and each product vary's.

    I proposed to make this through look up tables but would this work?, if not does anyone know how i could make this?

    Many Thanks

    Hi,

    Product tables is usually the way to go, with Product code, Description and Price the three usual items, accessed via

    =VLookup(A1,Sheet2!A1:C100,2,False)
    =VLookup(A1,Sheet2!A1:C100,3,False)

    to get the Description and then Price.

    I have included what i want the system to do.

    This sheet will form the basis of the product table. Now will i be able to create a user form that takes the name/code of the product, adds profit and delivery if neccesary to this and then adds vat to it?

    If this is possible how do i do it?

    Thanks for the help!

    Try this

    Having looked at your design, it will not give you the desired results in its current format.

    in order to make Vlookup (or any other lookup) work you need to have all your data listed in columns, and not have merged cells

    i suggest you re-arrange your data in the following 4 columns

    Product Code, Description, Quantity and Price.

    it should then be relatively simple to create lookup lists and perform the calculations you wish either on a sheet or a user form

    HI,

    rather than use different 'sets' of items, the VLookup works more easily with a straight column, ie all of the product codees in column A and columns E onwards left blank.

    the format to use a lookup is

    =VLookup(A1,Sheet2!A1:D100,4,False)

    where A1 has the code you want the details for, Sheet2!A1:D100 is your table as shown, and 4 will return the Price of the item
