Hello,

I am trying to create a calculator that others in my field can use to calculate storage based on the number of days in our facility. A shipment can only be in our inventory for 3 days until we begin to charge storage. The math would be below:

•storage days starts at day 3 in the warehouse
•math I am looking for: (storage days)($.20 per Kg per storage day, but not to exceed $500 daily)
•total cost is not maxing $.20/storage days at $500 daily.
•I want the column to calculate if storage starts at day 3, else return "0"

I also want to apply a formula to column E that automatically removes "+00003, +00001, -", attached to the shipment ID, but preserving and without affecting the shipment ID in any way.
This set of characters is annoyingly attached to the shipment ID when scanned onto the spreadsheet via barcode scanner, and it increases audit time to remove from every cell (where the actual spreadsheet is well over 800 rows).

As always, I value your feedback. Any other ways to approach would be appreciated.[/XR][/RANGE]

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney

Thanks!

Will test it at work today and keep you posted!

Hi!

The storage calculator is perfect, thanks for that.

The formula to remove the +0001, etc. does not seem to work. I applied it to the column using the conditional formatting option in the Home ribbon. Did I miss something:

Glad the storage calculator works.
As for the Shipment ID, you cannot use Conditional Formatting to influence the data value in that way.
I would suggest perhaps two options.
If you select column B > Home > Find > enter +* > 'Replace..' > (Enter nothing) 'Replace All' >
Edit the Find text to be -* >. 'Replace All. > 'Close'
That will do it with literally only seconds of work.

Otherwise, you can use the formula I gave you in a spare column and it will generate the base ID's.
Then Copy the those ID's and do Paste Special > Values over the imported originals.
Delete the helper column if it suits.

Either way there is not much work involved.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I was looking for something automatic against the same data. I may go with the helper column.

Thanks again!
