    Calculate price using a pricing scale based on cumulative sales

    Hello,

    Using Excel 2007.

    I have a pricing scale based on total cumulative annual sales:

    0-1000 units - $3/unit
    1001-2000 units - $2/unit
    2001- 3000 units - $1/unit
    3001 units and over - $0.5/unit

    I place 1 order per month, different quantity every time.

    What I need to calculate is how much I will be paying per unit at any given month in a year.

    For ex:

    Cumulative sales in May are 900 units and cumulative sales in June happen to be 1200 units (a purchased of 300 in June), then June unit price is ((100*3)+(200*2))/300. In order to do what-if scenarios I need to find a formula that could do this calculation given the pricing scale.

    Does anyone know how this can be done?

    Thank you

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!

    Thank you for your reply.

    Attached is a simple spreadsheet that illustrates my issue. The quantities may be modified by a percentage entered in Cell O3. I need to enter formulas in row 3 that would calculate the price paid per unit in every month given the total year-to-date purchases and based on the pricing scale in B5:C9.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help.

    Re: Calculate price using a pricing scale based on cumulative sales

    No, unfortunately this is different.

    If we focus on June, what I need to get in cell G3 is 2.33. In the month of June I go from the first pricing range (0-1000) to the second pricing range (1001-2000). However, not the whole 300 units fall under the second pricing range. 100 units fall under the first category (0-1000), so these are paid $3, and the remaining 200 units fall in the next category (1001-2000). The average price for the month will be ((100*3)+(200*2))/300=$2.33. This is because the pricing range is based on the running total that you have put in row 5.

    Hope it's clearer.

    Thanks for your help
