    Varying number in one cell, to change to a set number in another

    The title is a little confusing, but what I would like to do is this;
    in cell 1A, I input a number between 1 & 10 (representing years), in cell1D the value would change depending upon which value you placed in 1A,
    1 = 0.99
    2 = 0.97
    3 = 0.95
    4 = 0.93
    5 = 0.91, and so on. This will be the divisible for cell 1Cto give an answer in 1F.

    I'm not sure this is possible, but if it is and I could get a solution it would really make my day
    Thank you in advance for your efforts

    enter that range in a small table. then use a vlookup() to find what you need.

    =vlookup(A1,your-table-range,2,false)
    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

    The vlookup above would work nicely. You could also use an if formula. It would look something like this:

    =IF(A1=1,0.99,IF(A1=2,0.97,IF(A1=3,0.95,IF(A1=4,0.93,IF(A1=5,0.91,""))))

    Thank you both for your help, the vlookup solution worked best, the pricing list I'm working on works a treat now. A pity you can only give cred to one helper per thread
