    Creating a usable Work Sheet For Orders

    Im trying to make a user friendly sheet for my company to place cabinet orders
    I want to know how to have a list of cabinets and prices and be able to enter the name of a cabinet and the Dollar amount pop up next to it
    I also want to know if there is a way to set it up to work for all 10 styles - So for a quote i can hit Oak and have it give the price for oak only.
    Thanks for any Help - Please look at John B1 its a quick view of what im working on

    Re: Need Help With Formula

    you could do this by using a VLookup. you just need to add a table that has a list of all 10 styles and their prices (on same or different sheet) then reference it in a vlookup. the vlookup would be in your "Retail" column. assuming you created the table in columns R (style) and S (price) the formula would look like this:=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A9,R:S,2,0),0)

    if i make a few assumptions i come to the following solution as well:
    you could then improve this even more by using Data Validation on the Style for a style selector.

    the attached would be an example of this, with some assumptions i made myself being that you would price by size.

    let me know if this answers your question.

    Re: Need Help With Formula

    Yes partly could you look at this more complete sheet and let me know if the Vlookup Would still work
    Im trying to Enter the size and have it linked to the size in the table with the price
    example - Enter Cherry in style/ Color
    Enter in the Size Column W0930 -
    Then the price would pop up in the price Column

    - This way I can have my less tech. savvy sale members use this to give fast estimates

    Re: Creating a usable Work Sheet For Orders

    ok, this makes a bit more sense to me. you can still use the vlookup for your price, but you would need to create a complete list of sizes/styles to look up against. for example one column would have style/size like this "CherryW3630" and the second would have the price, when you do the vlookup you combine the selected style, with the size, and look that up against your newly created table.

    assuming table is located in range R:S and you style selction was in cell A6, your formula for C9 would be:

    =VLOOKUP(A6&A9,R:S,2,0)

    again this is dependent on a table containing all possible size and style options.

    EDIT:
    i forgot to add that the list would be a concatenation of both style and size, with price in the second column.

    Re: Creating a usable Work Sheet For Orders

    You would physically type MW3030LO in A9 and then in the adjacent cell you enter formula:

    =VLOOKUP(A9,$R:$S,2,0)

    to get the retail price from the list.
