Microsoft Excel Formula help

I am trying to adjust a spreadsheet so that if cell F2 = the word "put" then this formula is used =IF(J2="","",(I2-J2)*H2*100)  but if that same cell F2 = the word "call" then this formula is to be used =IF(J2="","",(J2-I2)*H3*100). 

 

is there a way to set up the formula so that you can have both formulas in that column whenever the word in column F = either call or put?

    =IF( F2 = "put", 
         IF( J2="", "",(I2-J2)*H2*100),
     IF( F2 = "call",
         IF( J2="", "",(J2-I2)*H3*100),
         "no put no call" ) )

    Most probably could be simplified, depends on logic which was not articulated directly.

      Most probably you are right, but to follow request literally

      - we first check on put and call

       

      if one of the above

      then

            if J2 is empty

            then ""

            else SWITCH

      else

           inform that logic is not defined
