Default Progressive pricing



H14=(0.2*H5)-
(0.05*(MAX(H5-100,0)))-0.05*(MAX(H5-250,0))-0.02*(MAX(H5-500,0))

Hi Allan

Don't mean to second guess your formula, but something was bothering me
with it.

If you change the price in the 3rd Tier pricing range 251 - 500 to say
0.08, it does not alter the overall sum. I spent a bit of time breaking
it down to each level and came up with the following:

D1 = 0.20
D2 = 0.15
D3 = 0.10

With $H$5 = 400

=IF($H$5<101,($H$5*D1),($D$1*100)) = 20.00
=IF($H$5250,($D$2*150),($D$2*($H$5-100))) = 22.50
=IF($H$5250,(($H$5-250)*$D$3),0) = 15.00

= 57.50

Conversely, if you change the 3rd tier pricing:

D1 = 0.20
D2 = 0.15
D3 = 0.08

Using the same formula's above you get: = 54.50

When this is applied to your current structure it remains unchanged.

I attempted to emulate your formula to take into account the variation
in Price Tier changes but came up zip so I hope this helps with the next
attempt.

Cheers
Mick.
