I then have created a nested if function which works out which size carpet i need ie 4 6 or 8 based on area of room up to here fine.

Ive now got a cell called Size roll needed and i need to somehow return an answer saying the price of the carpet based on the size and name of carpet i choose. i thought of a nested lookup or something bt dont know if this can be done??

Ive really got to work on this soon for college so if anyone can help id be really thankful

Need more info or the spreasheet itself email fammaskill@gibtelecom.net

thanks

Gina

Hi gina,

First give a named range of "prices" to the entire table you copied to your post (12 rows x 4 columns).

Then use this formula

=IF(K15="4m2",VLOOKUP(K14,prices,2,FALSE),IF(K15="6m2",VLOOKUP(K14,prices,3,FALSE),IF(K15="8m2",VLOOKUP(K14,prices,4,FALSE),"No Match")))

change each K15 to the cell with the carpet name to search and each K14 to the cell with the size to search.

Also this assumes that the table is in columns A to D, if not you will also need to change the column index numbers (highlighted red)

Col A =1, Col B = 2, etc

Hope this does the trick

Jason

=IF(D31="4",VLOOKUP(D30,prices,2,FALSE),IF(D31="6",VLOOKUP(D30,prices,3,FALSE),IF(D31="8",VLOOKUP(D30,prices,4,FALSE),"No Match")))

isnt working


named range as prices


removed the m2 as it doesnt say it in the cell

d30= carpet name
d31 = carpet size
