    One way ..

    Set-up a table in Sheet1,
    cols A and B, from row1 down:

    0.25 0.098
    0.375 0.123
    0.5 0.168
    etc

    Then you could use something like this
    in say, Sheet2's F2:

    =C2*D2*VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet1!$A:$B,2,0)*E2

    Copy F2 down

    Perhaps better with an error trap to return blanks: "" instead of #NAs, try
    instead in Sheet2's F2:

    =IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,Sheet1!$A:$A,0)),"",C2*D2*VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet1!$A:$B,2,0)*E2)

    Above will cover the possibility that you may have values in col B which do
    not match *exactly* with the reference values in col A in Sheet1

    Thanks Max, I'll give it a try, but I hope I can make sense of this. I'm
    still pretty green with excel, formulas and such. But i'm (little by little)
    getting there.

    You're welcome, Jeff !

    I went for the jugular <g>
    Had anticipated that you might have quite
    a fair bit of values in col B to correlate to
