I am trying to create a formula consisting of if statements based on a data validation box. The formula im trying is

=IF(a1="Medium",i9*0.03,=if(a1="High",i9*0.7,=if(a1="Low",i9*0.01,0)))

A1 is in a table with a dropdown box to limit to High,Medium,and Low.im also adding similar if statments to this so it adds it all up in b2
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Don't use the "=" signs in front of functions that are inside your formula.

Code:
=IF(A1="Medium",I9*0.03,IF(A1="High",I9*0.7,IF(A1="Low",I9*0.01,0)))

If those multipliers will ever need to be tweaked or changed in the future, it may be wise to set them up in named ranges and reference those.
