In need of a formula wizard for calculations.....

[HeidiTL]

I really need some help with a formula for a cell to calculate a figure based on another cell.

Below is an illustration of the formulas that are needed. I am trying to take a backdoor approach the cell formula due to I am unable to use the indirect process like with multiple sheets in excel on a form application within dreamweaver.

SELECTION NUMBER	1-15 (CAN BE SELECTED)
TOTAL AMOUNT	1000.00
FP	IF SECTION NUMBER IS 1 THEN THIS CELL WILL BE 100% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT.IF THE SELECTION NUMBER IS 2 THEN THIS CELL WILL BE 60% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT
SP	IF SECTION NUMBER IS 1 THEN THIS CELL WILL BE 0% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT. IF THE SELECTION NUMBER IS 2 THEN THIS CELL WILL BE 40% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT
TP	IF SECTION NUMBER IS 1 THEN THIS CELL WILL BE 0% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT. IF THE SELECTION NUMBER IS 2 THEN THIS CELL WILL BE 0% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT. iF SECTION NUMBER IS 3 THEN THIS CELL WILL BE 35% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT

Try this in cell B3


=IF($B$1=1,$B$2,IF($B$1=2,$B$2*0.6,""))


Try this in cell B4


=IF($B$1=1,0,IF($B$1=2,$B$2*0.4,""))



Try this in cell B5


=IF($B$1=1,0,IF($B$1=2,0,IF($B$1=3,$B$2*0.35,"")))

Tried this and it did not work. Thank you for your time.

The formulas I set forth is based on the way you have it laid out. Perhaps the references need to be adjusted. Is the number 1000 in cell B2 in your sheet, and is the selection choice in cell B1 ?

I can get the excel sheet to correctly out put the numbers by using indirect with multiple sheets. I am now trying to create a webpage in Dreamwaver MX using calculated fields within a Form to calculate the formula. Because the form can not reference the multiple sheets like excel. I have to create the formula for the text box within the form to calculate the number properly. I was hoping that the Form Calculation extention that I am using in Dreamweaver could do that based on the formulas you sent me with tweaking with the field numbers and text box numbers but unfortunately it will not. I guess I will have to figure out php now...

Feel free to let me know your thoughts.

Well, I am not worth much outside of Excel, so I wish you well and a Happy Thanksgiving...
