Hi,
I'm creating a meal planner and recipe scaling document, and to change the amount of ingredients based on the scale of a recipe.
Attached is a square of what I am working on.
I have a drop down list in M5 and Q5 (the top item is __Select Item__ and then the list of items to choose from).
Is there a way (without running code) that I can scale a recipe?
When the drop down list in M5 is "__Select Item" I'd like all cells in the range M6:P8 to appear white and blank.
Otherwise I'd like to be able to select p8 and choose a scale (perhaps choose from a drop down list? or type a numeral/fraction).
What would be a good set up?
Where (and how) would you suggest putting the scale number (cell) - so that the recipe ingredient calculation works out the ingredients based on the value in the cell (P8).
I've tried a drop down box, but then when I put M5 back to Select Item, then the cell value in P8 doesn't remove. I've tried conditional formatting too.
I'd appreciate any help,
Thank you for your time,
