For 1/4" stock brass, the formula returns 2292. If this is overly precise and you would like it rounded to the closest hundred (included as RPM rounded):
=IFERROR(ROUNDUP(12*VLOOKUP(A2,MaterialSFPM,2,FALS E)/(PI()*C2),-2),"")
For the closest, ten, change that -2 near the end to -1. Easy peasy. :-) It would probably be a good idea, once you have it all fleshed out, to lock any formula cells and protect the sheet. If you need any further help with that or anything else, let me know.

By jove, I think you've got it! You seem to have used a formula that I've never tried...the "IFERROR" formula. I think I can take that and run with it, but I might be back soon with another question or two.
Thank you!
