I need to somehow get these 4 formula's into one cell but they are too long

=IF(AND(B4="35mm x 125mm Skirting Duct",B9="BLACK"),"PL35125DB",IF(AND(B4="35mm x 125mm Skirting Duct",B9="WHITE"),"PL35125DW",IF(AND(B4="35mm x 125mm Skirting Duct",B9="OPAL GREY"),"PL35125DO",IF(AND(B4="35mm x 125mm Skirting Duct",B9="NATURAL ANODISED"),"PL35125DN",IF(AND(B4="35mm x 125mm Skirting Duct",B9="POWDERCOATED"),"PL35125DS","")))))

=IF(AND(B4="35mm x 150mm Skirting Duct",B9="BLACK"),"PL35150DB",IF(AND(B4="35mm x 150mm Skirting Duct",B9="WHITE"),"PL35150DW",IF(AND(B4="35mm x 150mm Skirting Duct",B9="OPAL GREY"),"PL35150DO",IF(AND(B4="35mm x 150mm Skirting Duct",B9="NATURAL ANODISED"),"PL35150DN",IF(AND(B4="35mm x 150mm Skirting Duct",B9="POWDERCOATED"),"PL35150DS","")))))

=IF(AND(B4="50mm x 150mm Skirting Duct",B9="BLACK"),"PL50150DB",IF(AND(B4="50mm x 150mm Skirting Duct",B9="WHITE"),"PL50150DW",IF(AND(B4="50mm x 150mm Skirting Duct",B9="OPAL GREY"),"PL50150DO",IF(AND(B4="50mm x 150mm Skirting Duct",B9="NATURAL ANODISED"),"PL50150DN",IF(AND(B4="50mm x 150mm Skirting Duct",B9="POWDERCOATED"),"PL50150DS","")))))

=IF(AND(B4="50mm x 200mm Skirting Duct",B9="BLACK"),"PL50200DB",IF(AND(B4="50mm x 200mm Skirting Duct",B9="WHITE"),"PL50200DW",IF(AND(B4="50mm x 200mm Skirting Duct",B9="OPAL GREY"),"PL50200DO",IF(AND(B4="50mm x 200mm Skirting Duct",B9="NATURAL ANODISED"),"PL50200DN",IF(AND(B4="50mm x 200mm Skirting Duct",B9="POWDERCOATED"),"PL50200DS","")))))

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Hello, Try this;

=IF(AND(OR(LEFT(B9)={"B","N","O","P","W"}),ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*mm*x*mm",B4))),"PL"&LEFT(B4,2)&MID(B4,8,3)&"D"&LOOKUP(LEFT(B9),{"A","B","N","O","P","W"},{"","B","N","O","S","W"}),"")

not really sure how to use that formula. do i just copy it or do i have to enter in something?

Those formulas are specific to the part numbers aswell. i'm not sure if your one takes that in to account?

Still learning :)

How about an even shorter

=IF(COUNTA(B4,B9)=2,"PL"&LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(B4,"mm x ",),5)&"D"&SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(B9,1),"P","S"),"") :)

just copy & paste. You can create a validation list in B4 for '50mm x 125mm Skirting Duct'.... & B9 for 'Black', 'White'......

Does this works?

Are you saying that B4 could contain descriptions other than "Skirting Duct"?

How many descriptions / part numbers are you looking at? You will probably be better off with a lookup table.
