Huomenta from Finland!

I have a web shop where I sell a material, but charge different price per metre depending on the work carried out. At the moment I have each product in a different category, but I'd like to have them in one category to make it easier for the visitors on my site. I've tried working out the difference in price between the products as a percentage and using that formula across the whole row, but it differs so much from one size to the other. Simply adding a percentage to the price doesn't work unless I do it for each size seperately, which would take months or even years to do with the amount of products I have on my site.

I'll show an example of one product and the three price levels it's available in. If anybody fancy's a challenge on this I'd be very grateful as I'm at a loss, I'm pretty much self taught when it comes to Excel and this goes way over my head.

Cheers! ;)

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
I'm using Excel 2010 which doesn't seem to work with the first 2 options on the link you sent me, and on the third option I get lost after 'quick links' as there is no option called 'edit options'.

It's ok, I've managed top solve the issue. It wasn't Excel related in the end... Duh! Thanks anyway! :)
