I have a party that refunds me interest for a set term in days based on a varying rate per month. They tend to drop the ball and under pay me. I would like a formula to calculate how much they owe me. I know how many days they owe, with a table showing the rate for each month, the amount they owe me on, etc. I have everything except the formula because rates change and days owing can flow into multiple months. For instance, in the sample data, for the second row (unit 50185), I am expecting to receive 1 day in July @ 2.41% plus 31 days in August @ 2.41% plus 22 days in September @ 2.43%. I've tried nested if statements based on EOMONTH*VLOOKUP but for some months the formula goes on for miles. I'm wondering if a nested IPMT might do or if there's a better way?

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
can you give an example with the XL2BB-tool because an image doesn't work great.
Is the interest rate something fixed per month or is it per unit&month ? Where can you find that ? That pivottable or somewhere else ?
How is your interest rate defined ? is it 2.41% per year, thus 2.41/365 % per day or is it compounded interest per day?

Solution
Thanks! Yes, the percentages are annual and change every month having nothing to do with the actual units involved. What you've laid out is almost exactly what I came up with. I used the MAX MIN formula to calculate days (I found that in another thread...works beautifully), but then used a SUMPRODUCT of the # of days per month * daily interest rate * price. I'm liking the visual display of facts over a miles long formula now that I'm looking at it more.

Thank you for the reply. It's always great to have your thought process validated. :)
