    SUMPRODUCT and ARRAY with cell references/formulas

    Hello all,
    I’d need some help with a formula related to calculating a commission based on dollars transacted.

    For the sake of the argument, there are three tiers of transacted dollars:

    Tier 1: First $10M
    Tier 2 : $10M-$25M
    Tier 3: > $25M

    Commission is % based. The % value is the sum of two % values in non-contiguous cells (B2 and B4 for tier 1, B6 and B8 for Tier 2, B10 and B12 for Tier 3).
    Unfortunately this is part of a large cost model and it is not possible to sum them up and have the total for each tier in one cell.

    Assuming the total transacted is in A1, I tried this formula to calculate the commission:
    =SUMPRODUCT(--((A1)>{0,10000000,25000000}),--((A1)-{0,10000000,25000000}),(B2+B4, B6+B8-(B2+B4), B10+B12-(B6+B8))

    but it doesn’t seem to work, as the third array is not recognized as such.

    Any idea on how to make it work?

    Thank you in advance for your help!!

    It helps if there is data to work with.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Re: SUMPRODUCT and ARRAY with cell references/formulas

    Hello John,
    Thanks for your advice. I uploaded an example removing sensitive data.

    In row 15, I'd want to calculate the commission for each month. Unfortunately there must be something wrong with my formula as XLS doesn't even let me enter it. For this reason I commented it with '

    In row 19, I put the expected result, calculated manually for January.

    I hope my example is clearer. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Re: SUMPRODUCT and ARRAY with cell references/formulas

    See the attached:

    The only solution I could get to work was using the table in B16:J8.

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(C$12>=$B$16:$B$18),--(C$12-$B$16:$B$18),(C$16:C$18))

    SUMPRODUCT does not appear like a mixture of "data strings" and ranges nor did it like the construct of "Adding" cells as a substitute for a range.

    Re: SUMPRODUCT and ARRAY with cell references/formulas

    There are ways you can construct an array that will work in SUMPRODUCT, e.g. using CHOOSE function like this

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(C12>{0,10000000,25000000}),--(C12-{0,10000000,25000000}),CHOOSE({1,2,3},C2+C4,C5+C7-(C2+C4),C10+C8-(C7-C5)))

    Re: SUMPRODUCT and ARRAY with cell references/formulas

    Thank you my first post. Its work related that is why didn't attach. QUESTION and I'm sorry total novice. I see many people with the -- before product sum when looking at solutions. What does that due? I read the true/false but was hoping to better understand when to use that.

    Re: SUMPRODUCT and ARRAY with cell references/formulas

    Pete UK answered this question today in another topic.

    The double unary minus, or --, effectively multiplies the value by -1 twice (which is the same as *1), and this has the effect of converting text values which look like numbers into proper numbers. It is just a bit easier to type -- than *1 (or +0, which has the same effect).
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.
