Hello, I've determined the issue with this formula is that the cell it is pulling from is formatted as text, not a number. I know I need to use the VALUE function to correct this, but I've tried this many different ways and cannot get it to work. This is my original formula: =IF([Projected SI %]1 = 0, "0", IF([Projected SI %]1 = "MIN", "5000", ([Projected Vendor Spend]1*([Projected SI %]1)))) If this looks correct can you please help me put the VALUE function in correctly? This is the part trying to multiply by the cell stored as text: ([Projected SI %]1) at the very end.

=IF([Projected SI %]1 = 0, "0", IF([Projected SI %]1 = "MIN", "5000", [Projected Vendor Spend]1 * (VALUE(SUBSTITUTE([Projected SI %]1, "%", "")) / 100))) That was my mistake. I forgot to account for the fact that we are working with percentages.

=IF([Projected SI %]@row = 0, "0", IF([Projected SI %]@row = "MIN", "5000", [Projected Vendor Spend]@row * VALUE(SUBSTITUTE([Projected SI %]@row, "%", "")) / IF([SI Type]@row = "Standard", 100, 1))) See how this works...
