I am attempting to create my first "conditional" formula for a quote form
and am at a loss.

Column A is the total quantity wanted
Column B has a drop down menu with the options of 100 pcs, 100 ft, or 1,000 ft
Column C needs to have a formula that says:

if column b = 100 pcs then column a s/b divided by 100 and the sum entered
here.
if column b = 100 ft then column a s/b divided by 100 and the sum entered
here
if columb b = 1,000 ft then column a s/b divided by 1,00 and the sum
entered here

Can anyone out there help me with this?
 
I don't know what you mean by "s/b", but try
=IF(B2="1000 ft",A2/1000,A2/100)

[... assuming that by a s/b divided by 1,00 you mean a divided by 1000]
 
Maybe something like this:

=IF(OR(A1="100 pcs",A1="100 ft"),B1/100,IF(A1="1,000 ft",B1/1000,"What
should happen if there is no match?"))

Note, you didn't specify what should happen if there is not a match. I also
assumed that the third condition should be devided by 1000.

Does that help?

Let's assume you use row 2 then in c2 put in something along the lines

=IF(B2="100 pieces",A2/100,IF(B2="100
ft",A2/100,IF(B2="1000pcs",A2/1000,"")))

What is in each of the "???" has to be exactly what it is in your look
table - the last "" just gives a blank cell.

If your look up table only contains numbers then you probably don't need a
conditional formula - it would be a straight division

Hope this helps
 
Paul already answered me with the perfect formula:

=IF(OR(B14="100pcs",B14="100ft"),A14/100,IF(B14=1,"000FT",A14/1000))

To clarify my e-mail by "s/b" I meant should be

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me.

Paul thank you so much. I had to make a couple of adjustments but your
formula was just what I needed. Here's the final formula:

=IF(OR(B14="100pcs",B14="100ft"),A14/100,IF(B14="1,000FT",A14/1000))

Just had to change a column letter. Yes you were right about 1,00 was
supposed to be 1,000. Didn't need anything for "no match". There will
always be something there.

Again thanks.
 
I already got and answer from Paul:

=IF(OR(B14="100pcs",B14="100ft"),A14/100,IF(B14=1,"000FT",A14/1000))

But thank you for taking the time to help me.

Please note that your third condition appears to have an error.
I believe you meant:

=IF(OR(B14="100pcs",B14="100ft"),A14/100,IF(B14="1,000FT",A14/1000,"FalseCondition"))

You had the 1, outside of the quotes. You still may want to address the
false condition if there is no match.

HTH,
Paul

Disregard my reply on your other post. You just stated that there will
always be something there.

Glad to help.
