    Cumulative Sequence Formula

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am trying to devise a single formula that will carry out the following function.

    Display 1.75% for the first 12 rows, then on the 13 row update the total to 1.86% (increase total by .11) and then display this total for the next 10 rows (for 11 rows in total), then update the total to 1.97% and display it for the next 10 rows and then update the total to 2.08% and display it for the next 9 rows so on until I get to one.

    For example

    Rows 1 -12 = 1.75
    Rows 13 - 23 = 1.86
    Rows 24 - 33 = 1.97
    Rows 34 - 42 = 2.08
    Rows 43 - 50 = 2.19
    Rows 51 - 57 = 2.30
    Rows 58 - 63 = 2.41
    Rows 64 - 68 = 2.52
    Rows 69 - 72 = 2.63
    Rows 73 - 75 = 2.74
    Rows 76 - 77 = 2.85
    Row 78 = 2.96

    =1.75%+(13-lookup(79-row(a1),{1,2,4,7,11,16,22,29,37,46,56,67},row($a$1:$a$100)))*0.11%-0.11%

    Hi,

    Thanks for your quick response.

    This is exactly what I was looking for. Just one more question if that is ok.

    When I place the formula in excel it works perfectly except for the fact that the result is displayed as 0.0175 as opposed to 1.75% any idea how I would fix this?

    Thanks

    Check that the cell with the result showing is formatted as a percentage.
