I am trying to calculate user costs for a number of projects. These projects will pay for their users on a sliding scale. As the number of users goes up, the unit cost per users, goes down.
I have a chart of costs that is based on two factors. The number of users and which application they are using.
I have blocks of users from 0-10,11-20,21-30,31-40 ..... The Second factor is which application they are using. For simplicity they are using APPs A or B, OR A+B. There is be a different cost based on which application and how many using it.
an ASCII chart has been provided
![]()
# users | App A | App B | App A+B| 0-10 |$ 5/user | $3/User| $7/User | 11-20 | $4 | $2 | $6 | 21-30 | $3 | $1 | $4 | 31-40 | $2 | $1 | $3 |
![]()
Project A|uses App A |10 Users|=$50 USER Cost Project B|Uses App B |15 Users|=$30 USER Cost Procect C|Uses App A+B|32 Users|=$96 USER Cost
I would like some help in creating a formula for user cost that will factor in which app they use and how may users on the system. Can someone help point me in the right direction?
I have an intermediate understanding of formulas and functions in excel.
Thank You!
