Your answer is definitely the shortest I've seen--thus the best for me. The
only problem is for some reason it is ignoring the "if" part. It's giving a
"value" error until something is input into that cell. I got around it by
putting another if statement in front again:
=IF(H9="","",MAX(IF(H9="","",-MAX(0,MIN(H9,100)*0.05)+-MAX(0,(H9-100)*0.02)),-400)).
This works perfectly, but can I can't seem to get rid of the 2nd "if" and
still make the whole thing work. Can it be modified and still work? By the
way, as you'll notice, I mean't to say I needed a cap at -400.

Thanks for taking the time to help.

does anyone know how I can put a cap of 400 on this formula?

=IF(H9="","",-MAX(0,MIN(H9,100)*0.05)+-MAX(0,(H9-100)*0.02))

Thanks so much and have...
