That worked until I got to the higest tier. Then the calculations were off.
It was calculating a price that was too high. (540K units should = $216,000.
With this formula = $232,000)
Then it is not clear how you are doing the calculations.
Here is how my "table" method does it:
For $540,000 I get a result of $320,000 done as follows:
Setup:
0-50,000 $1 per unit
50,001-150,000 $0.75 per unit
150,001+ $0.50 per unit
540,000 units
First 50,000 --> (1*50,000) = $50,000
Next 100,000 --> (0.75*100,000) = $75,000
Last 390,000 --> (0.50*390,000) = $195,000
Adding up those amounts comes to $320,000
If you are using the different Tiering that you posted in this last message,
then I get $219,000; not $216,000
This would be the table setup for your last tiering:
0 0 $0.50
50,000 $ 25,000.00 $0.40
500,000 $205,000.00 $0.35
It is only if the table is set up to use $0.40 for each tier that I get
$216,000 for 540K units.
The table then looks like:
0 0 $0.40
50,000 $ 20,000.00 $0.40
500,000 $200,000.00 $0.40
Perhaps you are not setting up the columns properly.
The first column is the BOTTOM of each tier.
The second column represents the amount paid for the units in the adjacent
first column. If 'tbl' is in H2:J4 then
H2: 0
H3: =I2+J2*(H3-H2)
then H3 is "filled-down" to H4
H4: =I3+J3*(H4-H3)
The third column is the factor for the amount OVER the base of that tier.
