    Hi amenasce and welcome to the forum.

    We really need an example of your data to give a good answer. If you click on "Go Advanced" below the message area and then on the Paper Clip Icon above the message area you can attach a sample file.

    I'm thinking a Dynamic Named Range may solve you problem but can't be sure without seeing more of it.
    See if http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/DynamicRanges.htm helps

    Re: Excel Noob : Formula with 2 variables and 2 fixed values

    Im sorry i explained it wrong!

    Basically, at T0 we start with a fixed number (30).

    So it starts with 30*999+30*50. However, the 999 is a one time fee, and the 50 is a monthly fee. We increase the number of customer by 20 each month, each paying the one time fee of 999 and the monthly fee of 50.

    so T0 would be : (30*999)+(30*50)
    T1 would be : (20*999)+(50*50)
    T2 would be : (20*999)+(70*50)

    Etc..

    Does this help?

    Thanks !

    Andrew

    The formula helps but the elements are not correct.
    I updated it but i still dont know how to implement the fact that every month we would be adding 20 different customers paying the $50 fee.

    See the attached.

    thanks !
