Alright, I have a real challenge. Below formula was working until I added the last string, in red. String is red is attempting to do what is described in red text below. I tried to describe this formula's operation in plain English:

If x="per lead", then return Y. If X ="per move in", then return Z. If neither of these if true, then return A. But, if resulting value is greater than T (capped amount), then return T.


=IF(IF(INDEX(contractsdata,MATCH($C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[concombo1],0),5)="Per Lead",SUMIF(combo1,$C19&$D19&I$7,leads)*INDEX(contractsdata,MATCH($C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[concombo1],0),3),IF(INDEX(contractsdata,MATCH($C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[concombo1],0),5)="Per Move In",SUMIF(combo1,$C19&$D19&I$7,move_in)*INDEX(contractsdata,MATCH($C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[concombo1],0),3),SUMIF(contractsdata[concombo1],$C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[Contract Amount])))>INDEX(contractsdata,MATCH($C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[concombo1],0),4),INDEX(contractsdata,MATCH($C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[concombo1],0),4),(INDEX(contractsdata,MATCH($C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[concombo1],0),5)="Per Lead",SUMIF(combo1,$C19&$D19&I$7,leads)*INDEX(contractsdata,MATCH($C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[concombo1],0),3),IF(INDEX(contractsdata,MATCH($C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[concombo1],0),5)="Per Move In",SUMIF(combo1,$C19&$D19&I$7,move_in)*INDEX(contractsdata,MATCH($C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[concombo1],0),3),SUMIF(contractsdata[concombo1],$C19&$D19&I$7,contractsdata[Contract Amount])))

Help, please! I'm sure I'm doing something completely boneheaded and my formula could probably be a lot more efficent, but I'm no guru.
Thanks.:ROFLMAO:
 

Excel Facts

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
To "Cap" a value, try using the MIN function.
Here is a psudo code version

=MIN(If x="per lead", then return Y. If X ="per move in", then return Z. If neither of these if true, then return A, T(cappedamount))

doh! Wow, you just made made formula a whole lot simpler. Thank you.

I do remain curious about why my IF statement in red would not work. I think it has something to do with order of operations /parentheses but I couldn't figure it out.

In any case THANKS!
