Sorry this is so long!
I'm trying to calculate what to charge a customer based on their reporting to us.
Here's the scenario:
We're billing the customer a flat fee for up to a certain number of users and once they go over it, there's tiered pricing.
Customer reports to us what subscribers they've given our service to, and how many users each subscriber has.
Each subscriber can have no more than 150 users.
The first 1,250 total users are included in the initial flat fee. Once the total goes over the 1,250, the below tiers apply per subscriber:
1-25 @ $475.00
26-50 @ $425.00
51-100 @ $778.00
101-150** @ $235.00
(If a subscriber has 2 users or 24, the charge is $475. If they have 45, the charge is $900 (first tier plus second). Etc.
For the fees, I need add up the total users from the top to the current row - there's no charge if the total is less than 1250, if it's more than 1250 I need to charge based on the tiers EXCEPT for the first subscriber that puts the total over 1,250 because I only need to charge for the number of users above the 1250.
When I originally built my formula, it was with the assumption that only subscribers with users would be reported, so every row would have a calculation, but they threw me off by reporting 0's.
(As a side note, there are two services involved in this, and I'm calculating the second. So there are rows for every subscriber, but some only have the first service and are reported with 0 for the second.)
I've got the partner names in column A, the number of reported users in B, and the fee calculation in C.
I created a second tab (called Pricing) with the pricing where column A is the number of users (it's only up to 150 so it's just a list of numbers) with column B as the charge for that number of users. The first row of this is 0 users for 0 charge.
Here's my formula:
=IF(B3>150,"too many users",
IF(and(C2<>"",C2<>"too many users"),VLOOKUP(B3,Pricing!$A$2:$B$152,2,0),
IF(SUM(B$2:B3)>1250,VLOOKUP(SUM(B$3:B3)-1250,Pricing!$A$2:$B$152,2,0),""
)))
This formula worked fine when I expected every row to have a number of users - the row where it went over 1250 would be calculated, then the formula checks the row above and if it's not blank, lookup the number of users reported. But now the not blank doesn't work because of the reported zero's.
I'm not opposed to using a helper column if needed, but I'm giving this to the customer to use for their reporting, so I'm hoping to keep those to a minimum.
I'm working in Excel 2013, but copied to a google sheet for sharing:
docs.google.com
I put 1200 as example 7 to show what's happening at the bottom of the sheet.
