    Unhappy How to make Excel do a Sum when a specific word is used

    Hello,
    Sorry to bother everyone and I am sure this is probably quite straight forward but I cannot wrap my head around it

    I need Excel to do the following:

    If a specific word is in B6 i.e. "RENT" I would like it to do a specfic calculation in three cells (D6, E6 and F6)
    I would like it to do the following
    D6 =(C6/100)*41.33
    E6 =(C6/100)*33.33
    F6 =(C6/100)*25.34

    I am hoping someone may be able to help as I cannot seem to find anything online that explains how to do this, so I am not even sure if you can.

    Thanks for reading.

    Need to know what you want the calculations to do if B6 is not :RENT", or is blank.

    And what if B6 isn't RENT? Assuming formula should return a blank in that case then you can use an IF like this for D6

    =IF(B6="Rent",(C6/100)*41.33,"")

    Use the same setup for E6 and F6
