Formula Currency field

Hi,
I'm trying to create a formula field.  
If a picklist value is "Monthly", then take the currency field of "Total" and divide that by 12 to show the value
​If a picklist value is "Annual", then take the currency field of "Total" and divide that by a number field 1 to show the value
f a picklist value is "SemiAnnual", then take the currency field of "Total" and divide that by a number field 2 to show the value

I'm not sure how to do this.

Hi Aaliya,

Your formula will be simply this
 
CASE(Picklistfield__c,
"Monthly",(Total__c/12),
"Annual",(Total__c/Field1__c),
"SemiAnnual",(Total__c/Field2__c),
NULL
)

OR you can also write the same logic in a different way using nested IFs like below
 
IF(
TEXT(Picklistfield__c) = "Monthly",
(Total__c/12),
IF(
TEXT(Picklistfield__c) = "Annual",
(Total__c/Field1__c),
IF(
TEXT(Picklistfield__c) = "SemiAnnual",
(Total__c/Field2__c),
NULL
)
)
)

I would recommend you to go with the CASE approach.

Use the insert field option to use the right API names of the fields.

Kindly mark it as an answer if that works.

Thank you again Akhil!

Akhil, If I want to change the formula to always populate the Total__c field, but only change if Field1__c contains 12 or 6, then how can I do this.
