[FONT=&quot]I have a situation where I have 3 different categories but 4 different formulas.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For example, let’s say my categories are Dogs, Cats, and Fish. I will always have Dogs. Sometimes with the Dogs I’ll have Cats; sometimes I’ll have Fish with my Dogs, and sometimes I’ll have Cats AND Fish with my Dogs. And the numbers vary with all of my stock.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I need to have a formula where #1 it recognizes what’s in the group (Dogs, Dogs/Cats, Dogs/Fish, Dogs/Cats/Fish), then I need that formula to add each category.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Here’s an example: The 6 left columns are my working columns where I manually type the number and type of livestock, and the FORMULA column is what I need the formula to give me.[/FONT]
[TABLE="width: 626"]
<colgroup><col width="17" style="width: 13pt;"><col width="85" style="width: 64pt;"><col width="17" style="width: 13pt;"><col width="48" style="width: 36pt;"><col width="17" style="width: 13pt;"><col width="49" style="width: 37pt;"><col width="64" style="width: 48pt;"><col width="329" style="width: 247pt;"></colgroup><tbody style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">[TR]

[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I have formulas for each individual siguation, but I can’t figure out how to have Excel figure out which formula to use when.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Here are the formulas I use individually:

=(B13&” Dogs(s): “&C13&””)[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]=(B14&” Dog(s): “&C14&” / “&D14&” Cat(s): “&E14&””)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]=(B15&” Dog(s): “&C15&” / “&F15&” Fish(s): “&G15)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]=(B16&” Dog(s): “&C16&” / “&D16&” Cat(s): “&E16&” / “&F16&” Fish(s): “&G16)[/FONT]
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Hi. Try this:

=A2&" Dogs(s): "&B2&IF(C2<>""," / "&C2&" Cat(s): "&D2,"")&IF(E2<>""," / "&E2&" Fish(es): "&F2,"")

[FONT=&quot]Is there any way you can help again?

Thanks to my boss, he needs one more column that (somewhat) sums things up

Here's what he's looking for.[/FONT]

[TABLE="width: 626"]

[FONT=&quot]It's weird, but when all 3 categories are present, he just needs to account for the 1st and 3rd (Dogs and Fish) without mentioning the Cats... that's where I'm having the difficulty!

Thank You (again)!!

Actually, at the end of the the equation, it should read IF(D2<>""," and Cats",""), but it works!! :)
