Calculating Values

DB393

New to Smartsheet here.

Background on what I am trying to do. I would like to count the specific words that were selected from a multi check box and then multiply the count with the $ amount associated with that text.

Example:

User selects: Apple, Banana, Orange, these (3) selected options then get displayed together in Cell A1 on the destination sheet.

In the source sheet I have Apple = $1, Banana= $2 and Orange=$3.

What I would like the formula to do is count the words in cell A1 then multiply that by the associated $ amount and sum the total in B1.

In this example the total amount would equal $6.

@DB393 What comes to my mind immediately is using some if statements and the HAS() function to check if a given selection is in the dropdown. If the value is there, then add the appropriate $ value.

You'd have to have an if and HAS() for each option you are looking for. Not sure how many you have?

The list is approximately 30. That could potentially be selected. I was hoping that I could combine a couple statements that would allow perform the appropriate calculation instead of a long tedious formula.

Almost like an index/match/count/sum formula.
