All,

I have a table with 1,000 plus lines where I need to normalize values to a yearly total. In the example below, sheet1 one has a column with a bunch of text. I'd like to look up the left 4 characters and match that to the table on sheet2 which contains a multiplier to normalize the data for 1 year. Basically anything with 3 MO (3 months) should be multiplied by 4. So the expected results column is where I'd enter the formula to get the 4x2 with the 2 coming from the duration column. I have about 20 different instances on Sheet2 to lookup against.

Any thoughts on a formula to make this repeatable?

Sheet1
ProcessDurationEXPECTED RESULT
3 MO PM28
2 YR PM1.5

Sheet2
3 MO4
2 YR.5
1 YR1

</tbody>
