Nvm, both solved.

// edit //

In one cell I have a drop list of possible barrows items (27 of them, too many for an IF logical function). At the end of the row I need to calculate the total income from a barrows run, counting coins, runes, bolt racks, and name items.

I need a function that will match the selected value in the drop list cell to the item in the next worksheet, and then display the CASH VALUE of that item which is in another cell. How can I do it? I think it might have something to do with the VLOOKUP function after looking at it but I'm not 100% sure (dashing off to class, cheerio).

From Worksheet 1:

QUOTE (Eregion2)
Maybe not too tricky, I just need help with one part of it. I'm working on importing RuneScape price data with web queries and using them in a spreadsheet. How can I convert "26.0k" to "26,000" where the function will be true for any value? Basically I need to remove the "k" and multiply the remaining value by 1,000 but I'm not sure how to get rid of it.
Already taken care of.

It's just one of those things that you're messing with for half an hour and you can't figure out how to get it to work, so you ask for help and five seconds later you eureka. eviltardsmile.gif
