    How to calculate Shipping cost based on UPS charges

    Hi All,

    I have to charge a specific amount for shipping, and I have been provided all of UPS freight charges from a supplier I am using, which looks like this:

    If the product price is between ($1.00 and $49.99), the shipping rate is $8.85
    If the product price is between ($50.00 and $74.99), the shipping rate is $10.85

    This product price range variance goes all the way to $2000.00

    When I have a spreadsheet with over 5000 products, with various prices, how best can I formulate a cell to tell me how much shipping would be for each product? I tried the IF function, but there would be over 30 IF's in that formula. I have an online store, and it would be really time consuming to add a different percentage to each product, to cover for the shipping. There are apps that assign pricing for you, but they normally have one place to enter your markup, for items such as shipping. So if I add 10% to one product, to cover for the right shipping amount, the next product price may be $100 difference in value. I thought of just averaging the markup for all products, ensuring that I would not be in the hole too much, but not so sure this would work with the amount of shipping charge variables this supplier has issued. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Re: How to calculate Shipping cost based on UPS charges

    You will need a "lookup" table with rates based on Product price.

    Attach a sample workbook (not image).so that we do not have to manually key in your data to do a testing.

    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.

    INCLUDE your Rates table

    Re: How to calculate Shipping cost based on UPS charges

    I added a column B to be used by the INDEX/MATCH "Lookup"

    In G2

    =IF($F2>=2000,F2*0.1,INDEX($C$2:$C$41,MATCH($F2,$B$2:$B$41,1)))

    I added a Wholesales cost of 2500 in last row to illustrate the 10% calculation for prices >=2000
