Drop Down List Formula

[Rubber Beaked Woodpecker]

In T145 I have the following formula: =INDEX(AC4:AE141,MATCH(U145,AC4:AC141,FALSE),3)

This formula calculates the days possible commission payments.

I would like the option of overwriting the commission payment in cell T145 by using a drop down list containing the test "X" but if I decide to remove the X the cell reverts back to the formula =INDEX(AC4:AE141,MATCH(U145,AC4:AC141,FALSE),3).

At present if the X is selected the formula is lost.

Hope this makes sense and any help would be greatly appreciated

The selected value of the dropdown is a constant, you can have either a constant or a formula in a cell, not both.

The only alternative would be to replace the formula with vba when the content of the cell is deleted, something like this in the worksheet module (untested)

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count = 1 And Target.Address(0, 0) = "T145" Then
    If Target.Value = "" Then
        Target.Formula = "=INDEX(AC4:AE141,MATCH(U145,AC4:AC141,FALSE),3)"
    End If
End If
End Sub

Hi thanks.
Unfortunately I am unable to use VBA as the spreadsheet is mainly used via the Excel mobile app. I guess my request is not possible.
Thank you for the VBA solution
