What it says on the tin.

Different authors make different amounts, I’d love to add this kind of conditional logic based on what we’re entering in the “numbers” field, and have those prices automatically calculated in the sheet.

Ideally, I would also be able to hide the formula and have it entered in the currency field so I can later filter by author later and have it automatically populate the total at the bottom of the table, but I won’t get picky.
