Hi Excel Community/Smart folks,

What formula would I used to resolve the challenge below? Where,
If Cell A2 is Product Category A then D2*C2 , if A2 is Product Category B then D2+E2*C2.

Assume the product list has 20 or so more products.

Hope someone can assist.

Thank you in advance.

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Excel Formula:
=IF(VLOOKUP(A2,Rates!A:D, 4, FALSE)="A", D2*C2, IF(VLOOKUP(A2,Rates!A:D, 4, FALSE)="B", D2+D2*C2*B2, 0))

Try this ....

Define a name range from your first table. Let's call it RatesTable (Range:'Sheet1'!A2:E6)

For column E in Sheet 2 enter the following Function:
=VLOOKUP(A2,RateTable,2)*D4

You should be able to delete Columns B and C from Sheet2 since these percentages are defined in Sheet1

I suggest that you investigate XL2BB for providing sample data & expected results to make it easier for helpers to understand just what you have & where it is and also what you want & where it is to be.

Best I can understand is that this would be another option.
