Can anyone tell me how to insert a constraint that would give an input such as this.....

prod1 2.0 3.2
prod2 3.3 4.1
prod3 4.4 1.2

say if i have teh example above in an excel spreadsheet, and i need in column D constraints, such as:

if column A is 'prod2' , D2=B2*C2*5
and
if column A is 'prod3' , D3=B2*C2*10

The attached workbook shows two methods of achieving what you want. The second is the better method as this is more flexible.

Good luck,

Alan.
