Hi Auric,

I replaced this formula:

=IF(AE16="v",IF(AG16="w",-5.5,-0.5),IF(AE16="ns",-0.5,IF(OR(AE16="x",
AE16="$",AE16="hhv",AE16="cc"),-2.45,IF(AE16="app",0,""))))

...with this VLOOKUP:

=IF(AE16="?","",VLOOKUP(AE16,defaults!C:E,IF(AG16= "w",3,2)))


try:
=IFERROR(IF(AND(AE16="v",AG16="w"),-5.5,VLOOKUP(AE16,defaults!$C$1:$E$20,
2,0)),"")


I don't think I really like that. I was hoping that there would be something
simpler than what I already have. And that still doesn't seem to be able to
handle a literal "?" in the table.

Also, why limit the table to 20 rows? I used the entire columns to plan for
whatever future expansion may happen. (I doubt the table will ever reach as
many as 20 rows, but I see no reason to introduce artificial limits.)
