    Formula help

    I already use a formulain D2 that reads:
    =MAX(0,C2-6)*17+MAX(0,C2-10)*33+MAX(0,C2-30)*50
    This formula gives me the Amount to Charge(D2) for Days used at Origin(C2)
    The Charges used in this formula are as follows:
    The first 6 days are free
    the 7th 8th 9th and 10th days are charged $17 a day
    the 11th through the 29th day are charged $50 a day
    the 30th day and above are charged $100 a day
    FYI---->(17+33+50=100)
    I need a formula that gives me the Days used at Destination.The problem Im
    having is that I can't make the above formula work because the origin days
    figure in and if the origin has used more than 6 days the 1st ten days at
    destination are at $17(the rest of the charges are the same). eg: if the Days
    used at Origin(C2) is 7, the Days used at Destination(K2) is 7. the Origin
    charges should be for 1 day (17) and for 7 days at 17 (119) at Destination.
    I need a formula to get the 119.

    Any help comes Highly Appreciated!!!!!
    I'll be checking on this post alot. If more info is needed please ask.

    Thank you

    I think you mean "that is based on", not that "gives me".
    From you explanation below, K2 contains Days Used At
    Destination. In any case, no formula can "give you" Days
    Used At Destination, unless you have a cell with Total Days
    Used as well as Days Used At Origin (C2).

    Not sure I am interpreting you correctly. What if Days
    Used At Origin is less than 6 days: is there any charge
    for Days Uses At Destination; if so, what is the rule?

    Depending on your answer to my question above, I think
    one of the following (untested) should solve your problem
    or at least serve as a model for the solution.

    =IF(C2 <= 6, 0,
    MIN(10,K2)*17+MAX(0,K2-10)*33+MAX(0,K2-30)*50)

    Eliminate "IF(C2 <= 6, 0," and the last parenthesis if you
    always want to charge for destination usage.

    RE: Formula help

    Some of your description isn't really clear, but I think I know what you're
    getting at. Try this:

    =IF(C2>=6,E2*17+MAX(0,K2-10)*33+MAX(0,K2-30)*50,MAX(0,K2-6+C2)*17+MAX(0,K2-10)*33+MAX(0,K2-30)*50)

    Also, you might need to adjust the amount of 30 in your formula to 29 to
    reflect the pricing scale you mentioned. Otherwise $100 won't be charged
    until day 31.

    If that isn't what you're looking for, then perhaps repost with some more
    clarification.

    That should be simply:

    =IF(C2 <= 6, 0, K2*17+MAX(0,K2-10)*33+MAX(0,K2-30)*50)
