Hello Everyone,

Today I feel stupid once again, I feel like this answer is probably really easy but I just cannot figure this out.
I have a sheet which has lvl 1 to lvl 100 noted down and the XP needed to gruduate the level.
For example to "achieve" lvl 1 i need 500 xp. Now the issue with this little game is that there is no total xp mentioned anywhere.
All I know is how much xp it takes to the next lvl, and once you reach the level your XP get's reset to 0.
So I have figured out the total XP by now. But now first look at my sheet then Ill explain my question.

2512,5005025,0007537,50010050,000
2,525,000
Here you can see the lvls with the XP going up by 500 each time.
On the right you see a little section where it says Level 59, XP in level 9,750 and XP needed 1,659,750.
What I want is to just fill in which level I am (59 for example) and that I have 9,750 XP already into the 29,500. And then it calculates exactly how much XP I need till 2,525,000 total XP.
So I did it manually for now but I rather want it to be automated if possible. So if I were to be lvl 75 I would only need: 1,137,500 XP till lvl 100 if I don't have any XP in the level.
I hope I was clear enough, if not please ask away!

Thanks in advance

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

It looks like a solid formula but it does not give me the correct answer. If I change my lvl to 16, and xp in level to 5315 for example the result should be: 2,459,685 but ur formula gives 2,524,497 which is only 503 xp from lvl 100 (2,525,000 xp)
While I am at it, do you think theres also a possibility to add a few questions?
If i am lvl 16 and got 5,315 xp can u add A5 to show my current total XP which is: 65,315 and have another cell in A6 for example that if my current xp is 65315 and I would gain let's say 1,000,000 xp on top of that it would calculate which LVL i will end up with which should be: 64

Some simpler formulas:

2XP in level9750
3XP needed for next level20250
4XP needed to get to level 1001630250
Sheet2
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
B3B3=(B1+1)*500-B2
B4B4=2525000-B2-(250*B1*(B1+1))


These seem to work in my testing, but try them and let us know.

These work nicely I think I might use this one in stead. Now just for my last questions remain which I asked for in my first reply. I hope its possible.
