    Cost of Carriage based on Volumetric Weight

    Hello,

    I am part way through the creation of a 'simple calculator' which when complete will automatically tell me the cost of a delivery for a box based on it's volumetric weight.

    I say part way through as I have come stuck, unable to create a inteligent formula for giving a cost in £ based on the figure in Kg, instead I have come up with the following:

    =IF(H30<Q13,S12,IF(H30<Q14,S13))

    What I have done is assigned a cost per 1kg, ending up with 1-200 Kg each with a £ associated to it. That is a heck of a long formula if using IF as outlined above.

    Probably easier to understand what I am trying to achieve by looking at my attached example.

    Maybe it is as hard as it seems, then again no doubt I am over complicating it!

    Use a VLOOKUP formula instead

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    This formula will work as long as:
    - all your weight is in 1 column and cost in in another (Q and S)
    - your weight are all listed in the table; that is, 11.21Kg will not work.

    However, if you actually have a formula to determine the cost and weight, we can write that instead.

    If rather than having 2 columns for weight and 2 columns for cost, you just have 1 for each... you could use a VLOOKUP

    =VLOOKUP(H30,$Q$3:$S$203,3,TRUE)

    Thumbs up Great

    Thank you both, worked a treat. Going to use it for a couple of weeks then maybe try and enhance it (with help from my friends)!

    Best
