Which formula?

Office 2007
I am looking for a formula that will do the following;
If cell B6 equals Belmont, then cell B7 should equal 8.00, if cell B6 equals
SPS, then cell B7 should equal 8.50, if cell B6 equals Cascade or Net or
Special, then cell B7 should equal 9.00
I also have to be able to add more names to this formula.

Create a list like below in Sheet2 in Col A with names and values in Col B..

Belmont 8
SPS 8.5
Cascade 9
Net 9
Special 9

In Sheet1 B6 you have the name typed
B7 use this formula

=VLOOKUP(B6,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$25,2,TRUE)

Thanks Jacob, but it does not change the value from name to name. What does
the $25,2 stand for?

The syntax of the VLOOKUP function is described in Excel help.
The $25 is the row part of the cell reference $B$25.

You can have a maximum of 25 items in Sheet2. If you want to change it you
can...

Try with 5 names without changing the formula in B6...and if you fine...go
through the help on VLOOKUP()..
