    Help with nested Excel formula returning "FALSE" result

    Can someone tell me how to fix the following formula? I get "False" result if the value in cell B5 is greater than 999. Thanks!

    =IF(B5<251,(B5*12)),IF(B5<1001,3000+(B5-250)*8.75),IF(B5>1001,B5<4999,9562.5+(B5-1000*4.25)),IF(B5>5000,26562.5+(B5-5000)*2.88)

    Re: Help with nested Excel formula returning "FALSE" result

    Thank you for the suggestion; however, when I enter that formula, if cell B5 equals 1082, the result is 6394.50 & it should be 9911.00. Any ideas?

    Re: Help with nested Excel formula returning "FALSE" result

    Because 1082, falls into the third category of being between 1000 and 5000

    and the result for that is : 9562.5+(B5-1000*4.25) based on your formula....

    so 9562.5+(1082-1000*4.25)
    =9562.5+(1082-4250)
    =9562.5+(-3168)
    =6394.5

    Maybe the formula should be:

    =IF(B5<251,(B5*12),IF(B5<1001,3000+(B5-250)*8.75,IF(B5<5000,9562.5+(B5-1000)*4.25,26562.5+(B5-5000)*2.88)))
