INT is a standard Excel function.
Excel help will tell you what it does.

Does this formula do what you want...

=IF(C4<11,0,IF(C4<14,0.4+0.2*INT(C4-11),1+(MROUND(C4-0.25,0.5)-14)/10))

Thanks Joe for the response. But it doesnt seem to working as I
want it to.

The daily sale is in C4 and here is my "previous" complete formula.

=IF(C5<11,0,IF(AND(C5=11,C5<12),0.4,IF(AND(C5=12 ,C5<13),0.6,IF(AND(C5=13,C5<14),0.8,IF(AND(C5=14 ,C5<14.5),1,IF(C5=14.5,(1+(C5-14)*0.1),""))))))

which I changed to the following after your suggestion.

=IF(C4<11,0,IF(AND(C4=11,C4<12),0.4,IF(AND(C4=12 ,C4<13),0.6,IF(AND(C4=13,C4<14),0.8,IF(AND(C4=14 ,C4<14.5),1,IF(C4=14.5,(1+INT((C4-14)/0.05)*0.05),""))))))

The previous one was increasing 1% with every .1 increase in the
sale value. and the one you suggested is increasing 10% with each
.1 increase in the sale value.

What I actually want is. a 5% increase with each .5 increase. so if
the increase in the sale value is .6 to .9, it would still increase
5%. Thanks again for your help with this.

so basically each .5 increase in the figure will
increase the %age by 5.

Ostensibly, I think you want (A1 = daily sale):

=1 + int((A1-14)/0.5)*5%

formatted as Percentage.

But what if the daily sale is less than 14?

Perhaps you want one of the following:

' all sales <= 14 result 100% as well
=1 + int(max(0,A1-14)/0.5)*5%

' sales < 14 result in 0%
=if(A1<14, 0, 1 + int((A1-14)/0.5)*5%)

' reduce 100% by 5 pct pt for each 0.5 less than 14
=max(0, 1 + int((A2-14)/0.5)*5%)

Hi,

I tried to explain the problem in the subject like but i know i
failed miserably. Anyway, here is the problem. so if a person's
average daily sale is between 14 and 14.49, he gets 100%. If it
is between 14.5-14.9 he gets 105%. if it is 15.0-15.49, he gets
110% and so on. But I can not put so many conditions in one
formula... so basically each .5 increase in the figure will increase
the
%age by 5. But if it is less than .5 increase, it stays where it is.
so
if it is 14.6 or 14.7...14.9, it still remains 105% and the
moment it reaches 15, the %age increase by 5 more and becomes 110%

I hope I was able to explain it properly. Please help.

Thanks
