Formula Calculation

Hi 

  We have a requirement to write a formula field for calulating below details are mentioned as follows. 

 1. Unit of Measure ( Which is pick list holds Year/Month/Days) 
 2. List Price 
 3. Quantity 
 4. Subscription Term  

Here Subscription Term is dependent on Unit of Measure
   if Unit of Measure  = Year it will populate ( 1 to 5) 
   if Unit of Measure  = Month it will populate ( 1 to 12) 
   if Unit of Measure  = Days it will populate ( 1 to 31) 

Based on the above value I need to build a formula field 

  IF Unit of Measure = Year = ( List Price * Year * Quantity )

  IF Unit of Measure = Month = ( List Price / 12(Months in year)  * Quantity )
   
  IF Unit of Measure = Days = ( List Price / 365(Days in year) * Quantity )

Please suggest me how to get this formula 

Thanks

Hi Sudhir Narayanaswamy,
                    Using the field depency yuo can easily get the following :
Here Subscription Term is dependent on Unit of Measure
   if Unit of Measure  = Year it will populate ( 1 to 5) 
   if Unit of Measure  = Month it will populate ( 1 to 12) 
   if Unit of Measure  = Days it will populate ( 1 to 31) .
After that try the below formula to calculate :
IF(ISPICKVAL(unit_of_measure__c, "years"),(list_price__c  *  VALUE(TEXT(subscription_term__c))*  quantity__c ), IF(ISPICKVAL(unit_of_measure__c, "months"),(list_price__c  / VALUE(TEXT(subscription_term__c))*quantity__c),
IF(ISPICKVAL(unit_of_measure__c, "days"),(list_price__c  / VALUE(TEXT(subscription_term__c))  *  quantity__c) , 00000.00) ) )

Thanks

Hey Sudhir,
This should be able to be accomplished using a CASE in the advanced formula editor.
You can use this link to see how Salesforce likes to use them.

    (( UnitPrice * Discount ) * VALUE(Subscription_Term_Formula__c) *  Quantity ),
  IF(ISPICKVAL (cldy_uom__c, "Month(s)"),1,0), 
    (( (UnitPrice / 12) * Discount ) * VALUE(Subscription_Term_Formula__c) *  Quantity ),
  IF(ISPICKVAL (cldy_uom__c, "Day(s)"),1,0), 
    (( (UnitPrice / 365) * Discount ) * VALUE(Subscription_Term_Formula__c) *  Quantity ),
 0
  )

It wont work as picklist value must be first converted to text .
