Hello!

Sorry for the dumb name of the topic - I am a beginner in excel and I know not that much so it's difficult for me to define the issue here.

I attached my excel file which I am referring to. It's kinda difficult to explain what I wanna do here but I will try.

What I wanna do here, is calculate lot sizes - certain variables.
The main issue here, in order to calculate these, there are different conditions for different situations.
What is going to be used here:

1) Cell B8 - dropdown menu under 'Deposit Currency'
2) Cell C12 - dropdown menu under 'Traded Pair'

How to do the following:
When I select something from cell C12, it would take the number out of a spreadsheet called 'quotes' that matches the value (the name) in the cell C12. Dropdown menu is made out of that list in 'quotes'.
For example, if EURUSD is selected in C12 , it would take the value out of a cell C5 in the spreadsheet called 'quotes'.

another thing is matching B8 with C12 under different conditions:
If the value in B8 stands as the first word in C12 (i.e. USD/CAD), perform a multiplication;
If the value in B8 stands as the second word in C12 (i.e. GBP/USD) perform a division;


I am not sure if you are going to understand what I want to do here, I am really bad at defining situations so it may be confusing.

I would find this by myself but as I told earlier, I am not that advanced in excel so I have no idea what to even look for haha

If there is someone who is willing to help me, please give me your skype or contact me via skype karsyz , it will be much easier to communicate and explain the issue!

Thank you!
