I've attached my spreadsheet below. I'm not sure whether I should use an IF Statement or a VLOOKUP.

#1

IF Function
If service code equals DSI or DSG then units equal hours times 1 otherwise units equals hours times 4.

I just can't get it to work right.

 

#2

VLOOKUP

I need Column A (Service Code) (what ever is chosen from the data validation on the data sheet) to automatically put the appropriate rate in Column D (Rate) also from the data sheet

 

So, in #1, I think I should use an "IF function." But, I'm having trouble getting the IF Function to work right. I've listened to multiple videos and I'm still missing something.

 

For #2, Should I use VLOOKUP or some other function and if VLOOKUP please advise how to proceed.

 

Thanks,

Cindi

Hi Cindi

There is no attachment.

For Q1 you can try =IF(OR(A1="DSI",A1="DSG"),1,4)*B1

Where A1 is your service code and B1 is your hours.

Can't answer Q2 until I see your file.
