I have created a parking space rental lease that is based on a quarterly billing cycle. My issue is "stragglers" who wish to sign a lease after the quarter has started. Specifically, there are several lots. Each lot has it's own quarterly rate. I already have the form calculating the number of desired spots x quarterly cost then it calculates the total amount due from the customer. But how do I prorate this formula to acknowledge the effective date of the contract's impact on the rate? So, that the customer knows how much is due as of the effective date forward?

For example, the quarter is 4/1/22 - 6/30/22. If the person begins their lease 4/12/22, I need the formula to calculate the # of parking spots x the remaining time left during the current quarter.

Please help! I've tussled back and forth with this thing all afternoon!

Thanks

Thank you so very much! I'm not getting the proper figure though. Perhaps a snippet of my draft could help me better explain? I'm trying to make the prorated amount populate in column H based on the effective date of the initiated lease. Please see attachment.

How does column H knows that's a monthly or a quarterly rent ?
Can you insert a column (D?), where you add a "M" or a "Q", then in H with a formula, that amount can be calculated.
something like this ???
The green cells in L2:M3 calculate the beginning and end of the month or quarter with the date in E2. This cells, you can set them somewhere to the right, where they don't bother you.
The cell D5 is with data-validation, so you can only choose for M, Q, m, q or blank.
The cells E5:F5 have a custom numberformat to show the text behind that number. So you only have to enter the amount, excel adds the "/space", the numberformat is $ 0.00 " / space" (in the image here below, it's with a comma, because i have other regional settings)
