    Am I correct in using the IF formula for 6 criteria?

    I am trying to make a formula to work with the Technology Products fees on this eBay page: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/fees.html.

    As you see, there are 6 bands..

    I have made this:

    =IF(D3<29.99,SUM(D3*0.0525),IF(D3<99.99,SUM(D3-29.99)*0.03)+1.57)

    However, when I try to add in band 3 by using this:

    =IF(D3<29.99,SUM(D3*0.0525),IF(D3<99.99,SUM(D3-29.99)*0.03+1.57),IF(D3<199.99,SUM(D3-99.99)*0.025+3.67)

    I get the error “Forumla is missing an emphasis”, or #VALUE

    Any suggestions? Thank you

    Try:

    =IF(D3<29.99,SUM(D3*0.0525),IF(D3<99.99,SUM(D3-29.99)*0.03+1.57,IF(D3<199.99,SUM(D3-99.99)*0.025+3.67,"")))
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Excellent thanks, I got it to work using that and ended up with this!

    =IF(D3<29.99,SUM(D3*0.0525),IF(D3<99.99,SUM(D3-29.99)*0.03+1.57,IF(D3<199.99,SUM(D3-99.99)*0.025+3.67,IF(D3<299.99,SUM(D3-199.99)*0.02+6.17,IF(D3<599.99,SUM(D3-299.99)*0.015+8.17,IF(D3>600,SUM(D3-599.99)*0.01+12.67))))))

    Just to make it a bit cleaner...

    You don't need to use SUM() functions... they are redundant..and only need to be used if, in fact, summing.

    Also, the last IF statement is not required... the last argument tells excel what to do if all other IF statements fail...

    and just use this formula:

    Note: It seems that the formula you posted would create some inaccurracies.

    The above formulas are more precise.

    Does that help?
