I am trying to use Lookup data in a formula and can’t get it to work.

Table A is a list of print products, and column 1 are the unit costs pulled from linked table B, which contains unit costs for different page counts.

In another column on Table A, I want to multiply the unit cost by 25. I have tried doing this using a forumla, and I have tried it using the Rollup function, and both result in “error.”

Also another weird thing I noticed: If I format the the column in table B that contains the unit costs as a number, the Lookup data in table A gets rounded up to a 1! So I can’t get any meaningful sums when I group the data. The only way to get the correct numbers to show up is if I leave the column in Table B formatted as short text.

Weird!
