    Conditional values when using text and numbers...

    Hello. I'm trying to create a formula that is a bit above my level. I have a range of cells that use a drop menu. I'd like another cell to return a corresponding value when a selection is made. I want that value to depend on the amount entered in yet another cell.

    For instance, if I select a product from a drop menu and enter the dollar amount of the product, I want a commission amount to appear in another cell based on the product and amount.

    Can this be done?

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Yes, best to attach an example spreadsheet showing how your workbook is set up. (Go Advanced>Manage Attachments). Is this commission coming from a table?
