I am working on a Financial Aid sheet that will roll over each year, the kids
gain a grade, and tuition bumps up. Is there a way (other than manually) to
get column D to display the appropriate tuition ammount in relation to Column
C (Column C displays grade)...is there a formula that would say if grade "1"
then tuition is "10,000"; if grade "2" then tuition is "11,500" etc <
(through grade 12) Thanks for your help!

Hi

There's a few ways to do this. However if the amounts don't increase
according to a simple equation then I think your best bet is to use VLookup
with a lookup table.

Assume the grades are in column C and you want your tuition in column D.

Find some spot to create 2 columns, say F1:G12.
In F put the grades. In G put the tuitions.

Then in D3 (for example), you'd want this formula:

=VLOOKUP(C3,$F$1:$G$12,2,FALSE)
