Rate Calculation

I am a relative beginner with excel and would appreciate in assistance with
the following problem.

The following data from personnel timesheets is contained in the cells

A B C D E F G H
1 $15 per hour Mon Tue W ed Thu Fri Sat Sun
2 Total Hours / Day 15 3 18 1 5 9 3
3 Normal Hours
4 Hours x 1.5
5 Hours x 2
6 Rate per day
Monday to Friday
For the first 7.5 hours the rate per hour applies
For the next 4 hours the rate per hour is multiplied by 1.5
For the next 12 hours the rate per hour is multiplied by 2

Saturday
For all hours the rate per hour is multiplied by 1.5 (cells G3:G6)

Sunday
For all hours the rate per hour is multiplied by 2 (cells H3:H6)

The number of hours worked at each rate may vary from 0.25 hour upwards.

The total hours per day will be inputted in cells B2:H2. From the total
hours per day
Require the spreadsheet to calculate the number of hours of
1) normal time and put in cell B3.
2) normal time x 1.5 and put in cell B4.
3) normal time x 2 and put in cell B5.
4) The rate per day to be calculated in cell B6.

Many thanks for any assistance that you can provide.

f4: =$A$1*B3+$A$1*B4*1.5+$A$1*B5*2 fill to right until Fri

Hi
B3 =MIN(7.5,B2)
B4 =MIN(4,MAX(0,B2-7.5))*1.5
B5 =MAX(0,B2-11.5)*2
B6 =SUM(B3:B5)*15 or if A1 is Numeric, then =SUM(B3:B5)*$A$1

copy B3:B6 across through C3:F3
In cell G6
=B2*1.5*15 or =B2*1.5*$A$1
in cell H6
=B2*2*15 or=B2*2*$A$1
 
alternative for f4

=SUMPRODUCT(B3:B5,{1;1.5;2})

Another solution:

Make a helper table of multipliers in Sheet2:

A B C D E F G H
1 Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
2
3 Normal Hours 1,0 1,0 1,0 1,0 1,0 1,5 2,0
4 Hours x 1.5 1,5 1,5 1,5 1,5 1,5 1,5 2,0
5 Hours x 2 2,0 2,0 2,0 2,0 2,0 1,5 2,0

You need only a single formula:

=$A$1*B3*INDIRECT("Sheet2!"&ADDRESS(ROW()-3,COLUMN(),4,1,))+$A$1*B4*INDIRECT("Sheet2!"&ADDRESS(ROW()-2,COLUMN(),4,1,))+$A$1*B5*INDIRECT("Sheet2!"&ADDRESS(ROW()-1,COLUMN(),4,1,))

Many thanks to you and the other guys that responded.

With the alternative solution I have put the multipliers in cells B3 to H5
and the formula in cell B6 to H6.

The cells have different totals than the first solution.

i.e. Cell B6 =$307.5 with the first solution
Cell B6 =$108.75 with the single formula

I may have the formula in the wrong cell, I have checked the cell references
and they appear ok. You're help is appreciated

Many thanks
 
$307.5 is the correct result, I get the same with the alternative solution!
Please copy here your exact multiplier table with cell references to check it!

The table is below. The figures may be out of line when posted.
A B C D E F G H
1 $15.00 M T W T F S S
2 Total Hours / Day 15 3 18 1 5 9 3
3 Normal Hours 1 1 1 1 1 1.5 2
4 Hours x 1.5 1.5 1.5 1.5 1.5 1.5 1.5 2
5 Hours x 2 2 2 2 2 2 1.5 2
6 Rate per day $108.75 $108.75 $108.75 $108.75 $108.75 $101.25 $180.00

It seems, that you placed the formula in sheet2 containing the multiplier
table. Place it in sheet1, cells B6:H6 where hours are stored! Yes, its sure,
I could recunstruct the erroneous number 108.75.

Stefi

Many thanks I had the single formula on the same worksheet. I have the sheet
working with the original formula that you provided.

Once again many thanks for your help.
