Sum a license total, then vlookup to determine training cost

R

rbrown999

I'm building a spreadsheet that captures product costs and sums it at the bottom. Based on that, there will be a training component. So:

Product Total
50000 to 100000 the training component will be 7500
100001 to 250000 the training component will be 17500
and so on.

I have the product ranges in cells A31 through B35 and the training costs in the corresponding C31:C35

The product totals are in cells D22:D24

So I'm looking for help building a formula that sums D22:D24 then takes that number, identifies where it is in the range of A31:B35, then vlookups across to enter the amount that's going to be in C31:C35

TIA

Thanks! Poor documentation on my part. To be more specific:

Cell D22 has the total price of one kind of product.
Cell D23 has the total price of another kind of product.
Cell D24 has the total price of another kind of product.

AND the training amount in column C is tied to the sum of cells D22:D24 like:

A B C
28
29
30 $50,000 $100,000 $7,500
31 $100,001 $250,000 $17,500
32 $250,001 $500,000 $37,500
33 $500,001 $1,000,000 $75,000
34 $1,000,000 $99,999,999 $125,000

Sorry.., that's not what you asked for. Here's what I use to assign
grades in my student grades manager app...

=IF(TotalMark<>"",HLOOKUP(TotalMark,GradesTable,3),"")

...where 'GradesTable' is a horizontal named range containing letter
GPAs and grades, and average ranges in row1 for lookup. The above
formula returns the letter grade to the 'Grade' column of the summary
section. The GPA column refs row 2 of the table.

The lookup ranges are...

0 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90

...for the sample user file I'm looking at. In your case your lookup
table is a vertical range and so the only diff for you would be to use
VLOOKUP and specify col 2 as the position to return data from.
(Assuming Product Total ranges in col1, costs in col2 of your table)

in E22 try:
=IF(D22>=50000,VLOOKUP(D22,$A$30:$B$34,3,1),"")
Or delete column B because it is not necessary and change the formula
to:
=IF(D22>=50000,VLOOKUP(D22,$A$30:$B$34,2,1),"")

There's a flaw in the structure of your data! You can't use the same
value for the max of one range AND the min for the next as exampled by
the last 2 entries. Also, you only need 1 col for the ranges...

50000 7500
100001 17500
250001 37500
500001 75000
1000001 125000

...will suffice. Name your table something meaningful like
"TrainingCosts" and give it local scope (sheet level). In my example
formula, "TotalMark" is a col-absolute, row-relative local scope
defined name that refs the "Total Mark" col in the summary section of
the worksheet. In your case the equivalent ref IMO should be
"ProductTotal".

For clarity, assuming your lookup table is structured as I described,
this would be the formula...

=IF(ProductTotal<>"",VLOOKUP(ProductTotal,TrainingCosts,2),"")

...using the defined names I suggested.

Or perhaps...

=IF(ProductTotal>=50000,VLOOKUP(ProductTotal,TrainingCosts,2),"")

...so totals show empty for values less than 50000.
