It would be better to put your cost in a separate column next to the part #
and then hide the column

I'm trying to create a spreadsheet to expedite job site takeoffs and
associated costs with a column for quantities selected and a column for item
or part #'s representing materials chosen. I want to assign a hidden cost to
the item/part # within its cell so that as qty's are entered the total cost
of parts/materials chosen is calculated and totaled.
