Wow, thanks for the fast response. I was putting brackets in between the
elements.

But I'm sorry to say I forgot one element. The beginning figure (say in A1)
has to have 50,000.00 subtracted from it before all the rest of the stuff
happens. I just tried to add it to the formula but obviously I put it in the
wrong place, because, no go.

Do you have time to try one bit more?

Thanks so much.

Diane

New job and I need to make a formula for a calculation I do several times
a
day I am getting very bored with using a calculator first then typing
the result into my spreadsheet. No one else at work needs to do this or
knows how to do it better.

I start with an amount which is always over $50,000.00 (and up to
100,000,000.00)
It needs to be rounded up to the next thousand such as $456,789.89 to
$457,000 (roundup,-3)
then made into thousands (457)
then multiplied by $14.00 per thousand (457 x 14)
then the result added to $358.00

I can make excel do each part but when I put them together, chaos

thanks for any help you can offer

Diane
