Hi all.

I have the formula below

=IF(E11="7.5",L6*K11,IF(E11="5.0",M6*K11,IF(E11="3.5",N6*K11)))

In cell E11 i have the following in a drop down list, "7.5" "5.0" "3.5"

I keep getting FALSE as my answer, if anyone could guide me in the right direction that's be appreciated.

If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
Are the numbers in E11 actually in quotes? If not you just need to remove the quotes from the formula.

yes they are just for the purpose of the formula. I only did it like this as previously I did it this way when I wanted a specific word to appear when using the IF formula.

Thanks
