Tried for hours to get this to work and ready to throw laptop out of window.

What I'm trying to do :

enter mileage into A1

For first 200 miles charge £0.40 per mile for miles above 200 Charge £0.25
per mile and enter combinded charge into A2.

and if mileage is less than 200 in A1 carry balance (200-A1) over to B1 to
increase B1 £0.40 rate i.e 200 plus balance from A1

Hope that makes sense . Many Thanks for any help.

If I got this right
=min(200,a1)*.4+max(0,a1-200)*.25
or
=if(a1<=200,a1*.4,80+(a1-200)*.25)

Either one should work

Chris,

I think.....

In A2:

=MIN(A1,200)*0.4+(A1200)*(A1-200)*0.25

In B2:

=MIN(B1,200+(A1<200)*(200-A1))*0.4+(B1(200+(A1<200)*(200-A1)))*(B1-(200+(A1<200)*(200-A1)))*0.25

Not entirely, I'm afraid. I don't understand "increase B1 0.40 rate"
and "200 plus balance".

Perhaps something like the following in B1:

=expression + 0.40*max(0,200-A1)

where "expression" is the formula you already have in B1.
