I tried to find help with this question on Stack Overflow here but did not get a complete answer.

I use this Google sheet to track proofreading jobs. I'm trying to modify the array formula in P1 that calculates the billable total for each job. The formula currently uses the Turnaround and Category to look up the page rate for each job. I plan to raise some of my rates in January, so I'm trying to modify the formula to also check if the job's Date In falls between the rate's Start Date and End Date.

4StandardExpertNoneNone02/11/201982$36.90
5StandardCleanNoneNone02/16/201961$24.40

The array formula in P1 looks like this, and the red part looking up the page rate is what I need to modify:

={"Total"; ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(O2:O),"",
IF(O2:O>VLOOKUP(E2:E, Discounts!A:B, 2, 0),
O2:O-VLOOKUP(E2:E, Discounts!A:B, 2, 0), 0)*
(VLOOKUP(B2:B&C2:C, {Rates!A2:A30&Rates!B2:B30, Rates!C2:C30}, 2, 0)+
VLOOKUP(D2:D, Upcharges!A:B, 2, 0))*VLOOKUP(E2:E, Discounts!A:C, 3, 0)))}

My Rates sheet looks like this:

StandardExpert$0.501/1/2020

I tried using SUMIFS to pull the rate, but that returned 0 for the entire column:

={"Total"; ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(O2:O),"",
IF(O2:O>VLOOKUP(E2:E, Discounts!A:B, 2, 0),
O2:O-VLOOKUP(E2:E, Discounts!A:B, 2, 0), 0)*
(SUMIFS(Rates!C2:C,Rates!A2:A,B2:B,Rates!B2:B,C2:C,Rates!D2:D,">="&F2:F,Rates!E2:E,"<="&F2:F)+
VLOOKUP(D2:D, Upcharges!A:B, 2, 0))*VLOOKUP(E2:E, Discounts!A:C, 3, 0)))}


A sandbox copy of the workbook is available here. I appreciate any help!

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. The array formula needs to be updated to find the page rate with the Turnaround and Category where the Date In from Jobs falls between the Start Date and End Date on the Rates sheet. I need it to be part of the array formula in P1, not in a separate column. And it needs to be dynamic in that additional rates may be added to the Rates sheet in the future.

Did you see the formula?
I only add it in a new column for demonstration purposes, but if after doing the test, that is correct, you can use it in your P column

=SUMPRODUCT((Rates!$A$2:$A$16=B2)*(Rates!$B$2:$B$16=C2)*(((Rates!$E$2:$E$16)>=F2)*1)*(((Rates!$D$2:$D$16)<=F2*1)*Rates!$C$2:$C$16))

As you can see in red highlight i'm try to add dates between column F

I did try the above formula (with End Dates added to the Rates sheet) and it works when filled down a separate column, but it does not work in the array formula. When I put it in the array formula as written, it uses only the rate for the job in Row 2 instead of finding the correct rate for each row.

I tried modifying it like this, but then I got N/A results with "Error - Array arguments to EQ are of different size":

={"Total"; ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(O2:O),"",
IF(O2:O>VLOOKUP(E2:E, Discounts!A:B, 2, 0), O2:O - VLOOKUP(E2:E, Discounts!A:B, 2, 0), 0) *
(SUMPRODUCT((Rates!A2:A=B2:B)*(Rates!B2:B=B2:C)*(((Rates!E2:E)>=F2:F)*1)*(((Rates!D2:D)<=F2:F*1)*Rates!C2:C)) +
VLOOKUP(D2:D, Upcharges!A:B, 2, 0)) * VLOOKUP(E2:E, Discounts!A:C, 3, 0)))}

OK. Now I understand you.

In this case, I am trying to rephrase everything. If you verify those results (dates between) and they are correct. I would add the other conditions.
For now, I try to solve this by avoiding certain formulas, because they can generate compatibility problems.

Could you send me all the calculations(Column P) for following items?

This is how those totals are calculated, along with a hypothetical job with a Date In after the rate increase:

Row 2
121 pages
- 15 pages (New Client Discount)
= 106 pages
x $0.80 rate (Expedited/Clean Rate as of 12/19/2018)
+ $0.00 (No Upcharge)
x 100% (No % Off Discount)
= $84.80

Row 3
173 pages
- 15 pages (New Client Discount)
= 158 pages
x $0.40 rate (Standard/Clean Rate as of 2/06/2019)
+ $0.00 (No Upcharge)
x 100% (No % Off Discount)
= $63.20

Row 4
82 pages
- 0 pages (No Pages Off Discount)
= 82 pages
x $0.45 rate (Standard/Expert Rate as of 2/11/2019)
+ $0.00 (No Upcharge)
x 100% (No % Off Discount)
= $36.90

Row 150 (Hypothetical job after rate increase)
10 pages
- 0 pages (No Pages Off Discount)
= 10 pages
x $0.45 rate (Standard/Clean Rate as of 1/5/2020)
+ $0.00 (No Upcharge)
x 100% (No % Off Discount)
= $4.50

I haven't quite wrapped my head around that solution yet, but I did notice some issues right off the bat:
  • Named range functionality in Google Sheets is severely limited, so I'm not sure this would even work. Ranges need to be dynamic in order to include future jobs, rates, discounts, etc. They can't specify a row number to end on.
  • The formula does not account for jobs with the New Client discount where Pages is less than Pages Off. If Pages = 4 and Pages Off = 15, the formula should use 0 for Pages to avoid a negative total.
  • It also does not account for jobs with discounts that deduct a percentage rather than a number of pages. The total for a job with the Testimonial discount should be multiplied by 90% to take 10% off.
