In need of fancy formula!!!!

[hellomynameiskristin]

ok. I am doing an accrual formula where I have 12 months in columns. But different situations call for different rules regarding the accrual...

A B C D E
1 1 1 1 1
0 1 1 1 1
0 0 0 0 1
1 1 1 1 0

I am applying an accrual by month.

In the first case, I want to apply the accrual ($100/12)
In the second case, I want to apply the accrual ($100/12)
In the third case, the 1 is too late to be eligible for the accrual
in the 4th case, I will want to take down the entire accrual ($100) in the month that reflect column E

Does that make sense? Any help? Thanks!

Hi kristin
You have posted only 5 columns but regardless this if each row(set of 0 and 1) means something else just contatenate them in last column and then use lookup to bring value you want,

Is this a depreciation accrual based on a date to include (i.e. anything before the 15th include)? Or just an accrual based on data such as 1 and 0? Do you have month-end dates in a row to reference? Or is it as simple as an IF/Then formula based on the 1 and 0? Something like (where cell F3 in the formula is the cell containing the info in column E, and N3 is the cell containg the amount in column Amount)
