    Question calculating discount 15 tiers

    Hi all,

    any help much appreciated, i am a long time reader but now registered in th hope you guys can help me

    i have three columns A=minimum purchase B=maximum purchase and C=discount offered
    by 15 rows of tiers of purchase volumes and discounts offered.
    i would like to be able to enter a value (say 1500 units in a cell) and excel come back with the discount based on the purchase of this number of units, i.e 12.5% as below

    for example

    0-1250 will be 10%
    1251-2500 will be 12.5%
    and so on until we get to about 40% in 2.5% increments, i have tried if statements etc but it seems too complex,

    please can someone help me out, i'd be so grateful. thanks

    You just need to have the minimum of each discount tier along with the % like so

    in, let's say A1:B10
    Then to get the proper discount, let's say your Amounts are in Col D, starting in D2, then in E2
    =VLOOKUP(D2,$A$1:$B$10,2,TRUE) will return your discount OR
    =C2 (the base cost) *(D2 - D2* VLOOKUP(D2,$A$1:$B$10,2,TRUE))
    Does that work for you?
