Hi

Could really do with some assistance on this one ...svp

Table below . . . to achieve 16000 in A3 I've calc'd as follows; =$B3*((D3*E3)+(F3*G3)+(H3*I3)+(J3*K3)+(L3*M3)) ... this works but is 'long-hand' and doesn't address the rate changes in columns B & C.

Does anyone know a way of using 'sumproduct' or similar to show me how to calculate this using a better formula?

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Thanks for that, M . . . it works a treat but I don't fully understand how :confused: . . . something to do with Offset?

Can the formula be adapted to allow for applying the Wend rate [column C] for when the Days exceed 5? ...ie; 6(Saturday) and 7(Sunday)

Don't understand what you asking for. Could you show examples?
I have to leave now - i'll take a look later.

The numbers of 'Days' showing [in columns E,G,I,K,M] are typically equal to 5 ... Monday to Friday, these attract a Weekday Rate of £100 [col B]. If the numbers in cols E,G,I,K,M cells increase to 6, this means that Saturday is now to be included in the formula and, as a weekend rate, will attract the £250 . . . same for the scenario where cols E,G,I,K,M cells increase to 7, this means that Sunday is now to be included in the formula and, as a weekend rate also, will attract the £250 . . . Monday to Friday = upto 5 x £100, Monday to Saturday = 6 Days [5 x £100 and 1 x £250], Monday to Sunday = 7 Days [5 x £100 and 2 x £250]

Hope this is clearer, sorry for confusion.

Could you provide an example along with expected result where columns are greater than 5?

Maybe...

A3 copied down
=SUMPRODUCT(D3:L3,E3:M3,--(E$2:M$2="Days"))*B3+SUMPRODUCT(D3:L3,E3:M3-5,--(E$2:M$2="DAYS"),--(E3:M3>5))*(C3-B3)
