Hi
So I am creating a budget spreadsheet on Excel for myself.
I need help with once I select the Drop down list Frequency - (Weekly,Fortnightly,Monthly,Quarterly,Annually) - Have it automatically calculate the formulas in the equivalent part using the "amount" & "frequency"
For instance - I input the information in Expense - A18 (Rent) & Amount - B18 ($315) I then use the drop down list in frequency - C18 (Weekly) and it will automatically input the calculations in D18 to G18.
I have attached a screen shot of the document example to help.
Thanks for your help!

To facilitate testing of formulas, please attach your sample file. Also, please explain how you calculate the amounts for each frequency.

I have edited the post and attached the sample file.
If you see the document attached - i have a section at the bottom for the formulas,
e.g. - Fortnightly > to weekly =SUM(B36/2) > to fortnightly =SUM(B36*1) > to monthly =SUM(B36*26/12) > to Annual =SUM(B36*26)
Currently I am copying pasting the section to make it work but would prefer once i click the frequency type it automatically calculates it all.

In the attached version of your file, the formula in D14, copied down and across the range, is:
=$B14*VLOOKUP($C14,
FrequencyTable,
MATCH(D$12,FrequencyLabels,0),0)
Note that I modified the labels in Sheet1!D12:G12 to conform to the FrequencyLabels in Sheet2.
