You might consider a change to your setup....Instead of having a column for
each Paper1 through Paper15, have a column for each customer that has their
Paper#. This would also simplify the formula. You could then name the column
with the Paper# something like CustPaper, and your formula would now be much
simpler for rate:
=VLOOKUP(CustTier,TblTier,MATCH(CustPaper,Tier,0), FALSE)

John-
I tested and answered my own question. I have not found a limit to the
number of "&IF" criteria within the MATCH formula.
Thanks again.

I really appreciate the assistance. It looks good so far. One question as I
adjust it to fit the business... Is there a limit to the number of &IF
cirteria? I have 15 papers.
Thanks again.

Assumptions:
Tier Table is defined as TblTier
The first row of the Tier Table is defined as Tier
The Customer's Tier column is defined as CustTier
I have your table for customers beginning in row 7, with customer 1 in cell
A8, etc.

The formula in F8: (rate)
=VLOOKUP(CustTier,TblTier,MATCH(IF(C8<"","Paper1" ,"")&IF(D8<"","Paper2","")IF(E8<"","Paper3",""), Tier,0),FALSE)

The formula in G8:
=SUM(C8:E8)*F8

This also assumes that each customer will only have 1 possibility in either
Paper1, Paper2, or Paper3. Multiple entries break it.

Hope this helps.

Hello!
Life was simple, then we offered multiple rates for the same paper.
Your assistance with the following scenario is greatly appreciated.
-Monte

Rate Chart
Tier....Paper1...Paper2...Paper3
..1.......$1.00.....$5.00.....$7.00
..2.......$2.00.....$5.00.....$7.00
..3.......$3.00.....$5.00.....$7.00
..4.......$4.00.....$5.00.....$7.00

Customer Accounts
Customer.....Tier.....Paper1.....Paper2.....Paper3 .....Rate.....Due
Customer1......1..........1....................... ................$1.00....$1.00
Customer2......2..........4....................... ................$2.00....$8.00
Customer3......3..........X....................... ................$3.00....$0.00
Customer4......1.........................1........ ................$5.00....$5.00
Customer5......4.................................. ......X.........$7.00....$0.00

When the customer subscribes to paper1, use the customers tier number to
find the corresponding rate on the rate chart. Do this even if the customer
is not currently receiving the paper (marked with an €œx€�).
