Please help, conditional vlookup multiple pricing tables
Hi there,
I'm reaching my Mac Numbers knowledge limit already as I attempt to create a pricing worksheet that references multiple tables.
My goal is to create a sheet that allows me to enter a product size (number) in column A, specify a product level (text) "Good", "Better", "Best", in column B, and have the resulting formula in column C produce the relevant price- based on the tables below.
I other words, I want the formula to,in column C, display the relevant price from the Best Cost Table, when the cell in Column B says "Best", or to display the relevant price from the Better Cost Table, if the cell in Column B says "Better"..... etc.
I have attempted to make a string of "=if( A3="best",(vlookup ..., =if(A3="better", (vlookup..., =if(A3="good", (vlookup.... "formulas that will search and display the appropriate table pricing based on the text column B, however it is not working.
Here is the formula I've tried...
Am I pursuing my objective a) in a reasonable way b) the best way?
I'd greatly appreciate corrections or solution suggestions.
