Hello,

I am trying to calculate a per word formula that I need help with.

AQ2= Open Word Total
AT2= Open Balance

AR2= Total Words
AS2= Total Words Billed

So what I need to calculate is after AQ2 (= Open Word Total) is above 1500words that each additional word is billed @ .35 each
There could be lots of entries each month and it will be zeroed out each month.

Total Words will be a manual entry and Open Word Count will be just a SUM but Any ideas on how to write a formula that shows the Total Words billed and Open Balances?

Example

Total Words. Total Words Billed. Open Balance Open Word Count
100 0 0 100
500 0 0 600
400 0 0 1000
501 .35 .35 1501
100 35.00 35.35 1601


Thank you for all of your help on this!!!

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
B6 is 1600. Column B has a lot of numbers which one are you saying would blank. Would help if you were explicit as possible as to leave no areas of ambiguity.

Hi Fluff! That is really close to what I need! 2 Things I am seeing
1. As you can see in the screenshot when I extend the formula out the Open Balance seems to be going higher when the total words is blank.
2. Is there a way if say if the Total Words is blank it would not display anything is other columns?

Sorry about that Richynero! I really appriciate your help and applogize for not being clear. I am still new at all of this and dont do it enough to gain any sort of clarity to know exactly what I need. I feel we are very close now though. :)

Do this is the error I am getting - When I extended the range beyond 5 entries in Column Under Totals Words
