    Formula for Pro Rata Multiplication

    Hi,

    I'm looking for a formula that will multiply pro rata. I can manage my way around a formula when it is written but when i have to start from scratch i get stuck in difficulties.

    Here's the criteria:
    If A1 is less than 150 then answer is zero.
    If A1 is 150 to 200 then divide A1 by 200 x cost
    If A1 is greater than 150 then A1 equals cost.

    basically, under 150, we don't pay so answer is zero, if between 150 - 200 we pay pro rata cost and over 200 we pay full cost.

    I can't get there myself with formual, anyone help?

    Thanks

    Assume cost is in B1

    =IF(A1>150,MIN(A1/200,1)*B1,0)

    Question

    Hi,

    Sorry i have just been given another criteria for this formula.

    There will always be a value in C1 that relates to whether we pay out. If C1 has the word 'invalid' in it then the answer should also be zero, however, any other words in C1 then the criteria in the formula would take place.

    how can i work this in to the formula, can it be done?

    Thanks,

    Hi CC_mfc,

    Try this:

    =IF(C1= "INVALID", 0, IF(A1>150,MIN(A1/200,1)*B1,0))
