[FONT=&quot]I use a data validation to select YES or NO. When YES is selected, I want a number of product to be multiplied by the number in cell A1. When NO is selected, I want the number of product to be multiplied by the number in B1.

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
With value to be multiplied in C2 and yes/no in B2
Code:
=(B2="Yes")*C2*$A$1+((B2)="No")*C2*$B$1

A1 and B1 are absolute references (use of $)
