Hey guys, has the website had an upgrade? Looks great!

I'm trying to make a waste cost dashboard. Basically, all I want to do is select the supplier code from the drop-down list and once I enter the number of workshops run, it will automatically update the number of seats the event had space for and the cost. I have a reference table where it gets this information from.

I know how to do the index(match that returns a value based off of my drop-downlist.

But what I need is for it to be modifiable based on quantity at the same time

So I have the regular: =INDEX([RETURN VALUE],MATCH([DROP-DOWN LIST],[COST LIST])).
E.g. Introduction to Excel will return £5 and if I choose something else, the price will change.

Then I know the formula for quantity to add another unit of price to the total in another cell: =[QUANTITY]]*Cost[@Price]) / ==[QUANTITY]]*Cost[@Seats])

When I try to combine these two, it will look like it works but as soon as I use another value in the drop-down list, my 'cost' and 'seat' cells don't update, it'll retain the old information. Even if I delete the formula from the cell and re-enter the formula, now all it remembers is the old supplier code. I also can't use the same supplier code again below.

This is what I tried: =IF(INDEX($O$4:O11,MATCH(B4,$M$4:M11,0)),[@[Workshops run]]*Cost[@Price]) - I've also tried with vlookup... my colleague recommended using IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH - everything yields the same reaction.

In the table below, the old code was FK01 (Fake01) and the price per unit was £2000 - the price for FK04 is actually £1300 but it doesn't update.

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Hey guys, I actually can't believe it.

In frustration, I just said "UGHH I WISH I COULD JUST PUT *CELL" and did =VLOOKUP(B4,$M$3:$O$11,3,0)*[@[QUANTITY]]

and it worked..... so I figured it out after I stopped overcomplicating everything. :ROFLMAO:
