I know it must be possible to have two different formulas calculate in the same cell based on the result chosen from a drop down list but I can't seem to make it work. I have a form where I need the subtotal to calculate for monthly prorating or weekly prorating between a start and end date differently based on whether the user is selecting "Months" or "Weeks" from the drop down.

The way these totals are reached for the monthly proration is somewhat convoluted. In order to receive accurate proration, I have to break it out in hidden columns off from the main table. For the weekly prorating, it is simply a matter of multiplying the unit rate*weekly term*quantity from the main table. Note, the E column only produces a decimal value when "Weeks" is chosen by design. Due to the convoluted monthly calculations, it is easier to have the E column show a simplified, common language breakout since the calculations are handled in the background.

I tried to use an IF statement but it only results in #VALUE for reasons beyond my understanding.
IF(E$1="Months",(D3*H8+K8*I8+L8*J8)*C3),IF(E$1="Weeks",(D3*E3*C3))

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
F3: =IF(E$1="Months",(D3*H8+K8*I8+L8*J8)*C3,IF(E$1="Weeks",D3*E3*C3))

(Your formula close the first IF() too early)
