    Reducing a series of calculations to one input and one result

    I have a series of three calculations to determine the Property Tax, which varies dependent on property value.

    Goal: To reduce the formulas to only one "Price" input cell and one "Total" result cell.

    I have tried nested =IF formulas without success.

    Re: Reducing a series of calculations to one input and one result

    Please try

    =SUMPRODUCT((B5>{0;2;20}*10^5)*(B5-{0;2;20}*10^5)*{1;1;1}%)

    {0;2;20}*10^5 is your step 0 200k and 2m

    {1;1;1}% is your increasing rate 1% and 1%+1% = 2% and 1%+1%+1% = 3 %

    An elegant and simple solution (That is once I wrapped my head around it )
    My =IF nested attempts went nowhere. Thank You!

    Re: Reducing a series of calculations to one input and one result

    I am following your formula, with the exception of the value -N near the end. Where did that come from?
    =SUMPRODUCT((B5>D18:D20)*(B5-D18:D20)*(E18:E20-N(+E17:E19)))

    I used your elegant second version.
    =SUMPRODUCT((B5>{0;2;20}*10^5)*(B5-{0;2;20}*10^5)*{1;1;1}%)
    It works quite well!

    Thank you for your input

    Re: Reducing a series of calculations to one input and one result

    (E18:E20-N(+E17:E19)) ={1%;1%;1%}

    N() change text to 0 , number still number.

    E17 is Column header "Tax" or "Tax rate"

    1%-"Tax" give error #Value! but 1%-n("Tax") = 1%-0 = 1%

    Re: Reducing a series of calculations to one input and one result update

    Update on the solved problem by Bo_Ry

    Re the new uploaded sheet "Reverse Calculation.xlsx

    I wonder if it would be possible to place an amount in G7 and have a formula in G9 that would calculate The Negotiated Discount?
    In other words for example, if $1,517,800.00 was placed in G7, then G9 would produce $10,000.00

    Reverse calculating this with the Property Purchase Tax formula seems quite difficult.

    Bay since your thread has been reopened it would be a good idea to change the Solved status to 'Mark this thread unsolved'. Otherwise it might not get noticed.

    Dave
    I was using my cell phone & the Excel Forum site did not contain any SOLVED or "Mark this thread unsolved" buttons. Back home with the PC and there they are. Did as you suggested. Tnx.
