Sales??

Problem. 3 price breaks.....

below $5000 60%
between $5000 and $10,000 55%
above $10,000 50%

I need to figure the percent of a cell if that cell is in the above range....
Example $5500 formula result 55% of $5500
or $12,000 formula result 50% of $12,000

Jon,

Try this Boolean formulation:

=(A1<5000)*(A1*60%)+(A1>=5000)*(A1<=10000)*(A1*55%)+(A1>10000)*(A1*50%)

Copy down as needed.

Same idea as Aladin...
=+A1*0.5+(A1 < 10000)*0.05*A1+(A1 < 5000)*0.05*A1
good luck

Jon,

Here's yet another way:

=IF(A1>10000,.5*A1,IF(A1>4999,.55*A1,.6*A1))

Larry --

That's right. My motive for going boolean is that such a formula evaluates faster than the IF-equivalent. The difference should be noticeable on very large sets of data.
