Help with Excel - Calculating 2 cells based on the text within another

[Johnny_The_Muz]

Hello ! I hope someone can help me

My issue is, I need to calculate the multiplication of 2 cells, when a completely different cell returns a specific text.

Eg: 

Cell A = 10

Cell B = 5

Cell C = HAT

Cell D = (this is the cell I want to run the calculation of Cell A* Cell B - but only if Cell C = HAT

if Cell C were to = "Trousers" I would not want the calculation to occur.

Your help would be greatly appreciated !!!

=IF(C1="HAT",A1*B1,IF(C1="Trousers","",""))

You can try this nested IF formula.

Perhaps

=IF(C1="HAT", A1*B1, "")

Apologies to be incredibly annoying but I have an extension to that issue.. are you able to assist?

Your formula works great but now i have a simple sum in the next field which is now returning a #value error..
