    I need help with a formula.  I attached the spreadsheet for reference. I need to do multiple vlookups to a periodic table and multiply and add all the numbers for several vlookups and it needs to be all in one formula.  Please take a look at my file attached.  Is there a better function I need to use?

     

    Thank you in advance!

      Doing all that in one formula is probably asking for trouble. Using a helper cell or two will make it much easier to write / test / maintain.

      cheers, Paul

        Hi, agree with PaulT, try splitting up, in my case it’s usually inserting columns, into simpler formulas.  You can always hide / group unnecessary columns after you’re done and it makes things easier when someone else is auditing your work.

        Take care,
