If Statements and Calculations
I'm trying to calculate a cost based on whether a field is marked (and another field that contains quantity) or not. So, if field A is marked (checkbox), then multiply $5 x Field B. If field A is not marked, then multiply $4 x Field B.
Is there a formula for this? Thank you, Jennifer

Jennifer,
=IF( [field A]23 , 5 * [Field B]23 , 4 * [Field B]23 )
for row 23
This also works:
=IF( [field A]23 , 5 , 4 ) * [Field B]23
I added spaces for clarity (I hope).

Beside,
You may want to split Craig's formula to SHOW which figure is used:
Create a new column with =IF( [field A]23 , 5 , 4 )
And in another column calculate your cost =([new column]23 * [Field B]23)
Also, considering that the figures 5 and 4 could change over time, they can be located in a place where you can track or change them.
In such case you simply refer to the related box in the formula.
