    Question Formula that goes from multiplication to plus at a set value

    Hi, this is my first post here at Excelforum.com, sorry for my english if it's not completely correct, not my native language

    I'm trying to figure out a formula that can switch from multiplication to plus at a set value

    f.e. A * B * C , but when the sum for A*B goes up to 10.000, then it switches to A * B + 2.500

    Is it possible to have a formula that does this by itself ?

    I hope you understand what I'm trying to say

    Re: Formula that goes from multiplication to plus at a set value

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    Not sure what is in C, so this is untested, but perhaps something like...

    =IF(A1*B1>10,A1*B1+2.5,A1*B1*C1)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Re: Formula that goes from multiplication to plus at a set value

    Here is en example of what i'm thinking

    A: 230
    B: 45

    230*45 = 10350, since it's greater then 10000, then I'd just like to add 2500 to the sum for A*B = 12850

    but if the sum is lower then 10000, then I'd want to multiply it with 25%, or 1.25 f.e. 9500 * 1,25 = 11875

    so
    <10000 = A*B*1.25
    >10000 = A*B+2500

    It's for a list to calculate the price for fuel, so the fuel price can be changing, and I spend a lot of time changing the formula, and I am wondering if there is a formula i could use, that calculates it automatically

    Re: Formula that goes from multiplication to plus at a set value

    Did you try my formula? (obviously with the adjusted values from your last post...
    =IF(A1*B1>10000,A1*B1+2500,A1*B1*1.25)
    or...
    =IF(A1*B1>10000,A1*B1+2500,A1*B1*(1+C1))
    A
    B
    C
    D
    1
    230
    40
    0.25
    11500
    2
    230
    45
    0.25
    12850
