Hello, all.

Here's the situation:

$0 - $180,000 investors get 75%
$180,000 - $450,000 investors get 50%
$450,000 - $900,000 investors get 0%
$900,000+ investors get 30%


Based on this link, I was able to come up with this formula, where D8 is gross revenue:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(D8>{0;180000;450000;900000}), (D8-{0;180000;450000;900000}), {0.75;-0.25;-0.75;0.3})

For example, if you have $250,000 gross revenue, investors receive $170,000.


Where this all breaks down is after $450,000. Any ideas?

All help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much.

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
I'm having difficulty with your example given I don't have a background in finance, however, based on your paragraph of parameters if "$180,000 - $450,000 investors get 50%" then wouldn't a $250,000 get $125,000?

Based on that logic, I used this formula:

=F10*LOOKUP(F10,{0,180000,450000,900000},{0.75,0.5,0,0.3})

It may not work for you, but perhaps it will get you started and you can modify it to suit your needs.

Hey, CW.

Thanks for the suggestion, but investors get 50% of everything after the first $180,000 and up to $450,000. Up to $180,000, they get 75%.


For example:

$180,000 x .75 = $135,000
$70,000 x .5 = $35,000

$135,000 + $35,000 = $170,000
