    Data Validation

    Hi, I am not sure what the best formulate to use, to extract the 'customer's rates' without retyping their rates manually. E.g. If I need to get the 'ABC rates (or other customer rates in column F, G, H)' from G column is there an easy way of pulling the data without manually typing them each line that will calculate the total costs?

    Thank you.

    Re: Data Validation

    Hi
    There are a couple of issues in the spreadsheet that need to be addressed before a suitable solution can be provided.
    1. The cust col I presume is the customer reference number If so I would not have expected it to be decimal.
    2. Col J contains multiple quantity measures Number of night, Hours, Mileage. These need to be in 3 separate columns.

    If you would like to review your spreadsheet I am happy to find a solution for you.

    Cheers

    You provided a nice sample sheet, but didn't tell us what your inputs and outputs should look like. So, I had a guess. Select from the dropdowns in P & Q...

    Hi FoxSeaLady

    Thank you for your message, I'll try to explain what I am trying to achieve.
    1- The cust column ignore that. I would like to get the our profit based on Column E (Our rate) against Column F, G or H.
    2 - Column J is correct as the number of nights or number of hours are multiplied on number of men (COlumn I) then multiply to relevant customer's rates.

    Say if I put Welding Fab in a column is a way that will get the rates without me retyping them manually?

    Apologies, in advance if it doesn't make sense.

    Re: Data Validation

    I'm also not sure what you want and where either. The title says "Data Validation" with no indication of where they are to be.

    So I changed the question and duplicated the Core/Rates headers in K2:N2. I also removed the trailing space in ABC or this wouldn't work.

    Then in K3:N23 this formula
