We'll add the VLOOKUP function in the Total Price formula. This formula "=VLOOKUP(B2,Price_List!B1:C7,2,FALSE)" will LOOKUP for the price of the unit brand in the Price_List Sheet. =IF(C2<>"",VLOOKUP(B2,Price_List!B1:C7,2,FALSE) *C2,VLOOKUP(B2,Price_List!B1:C7,2,FALSE)) The formula above is a  logical cond...
