Okay, here's a possible solution--based on my interpretation of your problem.

Suppose you have some value in cell B1, and the month (either Jan, Feb, or Mar) is stored in cell A1. The formula in C1, which performs calculations based on which month appears in A1, is as follows:

=IF(A1="Jan",B1*0.25,IF(A1="Feb",B1*0.3,IF(A1="Mar",B1*0.4)))

In this example, the value in B1 is multiplied by .25 if the month is Jan, by .3 if it's Feb, and .4 if it's Mar.
