    tiered formula

    Hi,
    Im trying to create a formula with the following parameters:

    lets say you have: 1,000,000,000:

    and you get:

    $1K for each $1mm (Gross) up to $50mm
    $0.75K for each $1mm (Gross) from $51-$150mm
    $0.5k for each $1mm (Gross) from $151-$500mm
    $0.2k for each $1mm (Gross) from $501mm-$750mm
    $0.1k for each $1mm (Gross) thereafter - NO CAP

    what would be the formula to see how much the 1,000,000,000 gets?

    please help!

    Re: tiered formula

    I would further add for clarity, $0.75K actually means $750 for each million between 50,000,001 and 150,000,000, right?

    Re: tiered formula

    does this formula work on a scale? ie. if I change the 1,000,000,000 to 100,000,000, I would expect to get 87,500 but its showing 121,250...

    Re: tiered formula

    Yep, a second error, try this
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Even better, put your upper limits into D1:D5 and refer to them. It reduces possibility of typos and also is more versatile in case you switch the tier values at any point

    Re: tiered formula

    An alternative approach for tiered calcs is below SUMPRODUCT construct as simple to modify tiers (inline arrays can be swapped out for same values held in ranges)

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    key to note is that the final array holds the marginal movement from one tier to the next
    e.g. first tier is @ 0.001% whilst second tier drops to @ 0.00075% - a movement of -0.00025% etc...

    edit: didn't read the x-posts so above just a regurgitation of the final response provided on the microsoft site
