I'm pretty sure I'm needed to use the IF function, but to be honest I'm really not sure as I have been looking for answers on this all day and can't figure it out. I have made an example spreadsheet using Google Sheets and I have linked that below so you can go in and see exactly what I'm wanting to do.

LINK to Spreadsheet:
zTest - Personal Expenses

What I want to do...
On the Expense tab I would like to be able to select they billing period from the Billing column and then from that option calculate the monthly and yearly cost for each item added to the expense tracker.

I have the billing durations set in the List’s tab:
Yearly - 1
Quarterly - 4
Monthly - 12
Bi-Weekly - 26
Weekly - 52
Daily - 365
Work Weeks - 50
Work Days - 250

And then I have an example on the “Test Sheet” of how I would want the formulas to preform. Basically I would like it to be a selectable formal like this.

(Amount) x (Perior) = Yearly Amount
(Yearly Amount) / 12 = Monthly Amount

Any help would be super awesome, extra points if you just want to write the formal for me :)

Cheers
Jeremy

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
SOLVED :)
This has been solved by using a VLOOKUP formula, I'll leave the Google Sheet up for a little bit for people to check out if they want. Thanks to everyone who helped out I really appreciate it.

Solution
@Jai Sharp - Welcome to the MrExcel Message Board!
And thanks for sharing the solution.

Leaving the Google Sheet up for a while wouldn't actually help any future reader considering Excel users are still finding solutions in 20 years old questions on the board, and Internet users don't like to download public files due to security concerns. That's why we try to use the XL2BB tool to create the mini-sheets on the MrExcel Message Board instead of giving links to the actual files that are going to be dead-links in a short time. Using the XL2BB also helps to transfer the existing data and formulas easily and reduces the response times dramatically that also encourages the helpers to solve the questions instead of trying to create the entire structure in their workbooks manually.

Although I will confirm your own marked solution for this question, I simply created mini-sheets from your workbook and pasted them below for future readers. That would be great if you could also consider doing the same to help the others next time - of course, if it is also convenient for you.
