I want to enter a value in column A and have a corresponding value populate Column B. For instance if I enter "XYZ" in A1, then I want $40 in B1. Or if I enter "ABC" in A1, then I want $50 in B1. How do I do this.

The "IF" function is not doing it for me.

TIA

I use Conditional formatting on cells that takes care of the programming for me. Unfortunately, being a technical guy, my excel knowledge is on a novice level.

Vlookup with a table of abc and xyz sorted alphabetically (descending) with their corresponding values adjacent

How are "IF" formulas not working for you on this? Are you putting quotation marks around the text you want to see in Column A and also formatting cells in Column A as general?

=IF(A1="XYZ";40;IF(A1="ABC";50;""))

Format the cells with the formula as currency.

Have you tried using a vertical lookup table?

Or is it just 2 possibilities
