I'm sorry, I realize my initial description was unclear. I got the 800 when
I put it all in a table and realizied the range that I had given you
initially was $800-$999 = 500 mile cap when the truth is that anything over
$800 gets our max cap of 500 miles. I don't understand what you are talking
about below my sheet that holds the mileage is equal to that technicians
number and the cell is $E$2 or '9501'!$E$2 he can turn in as much or as
little mileage for reimbursement as he wants, we don't care because we cap it
based on his production dollar amount which resides on his same sheet in cell
$G$47 so for Technician 9501 we would look at cell '9501'!$G$47 to see how
much production he had for the week then we would look at cell '9501'!$E$2 to
see how many miles he turned in and if he turned in more than we allow we
would cap it based on the ranges I gave you. If he turned in less than we
allow we would be happy and just pay him for that amount. I ran your CHOOSE
function but I don't think it takes into account how much he made for the
week because it never looks at cell $G$47. Also it adjusts all mileage paying
out more to those who did not turn in the max. Hope this is a little more
clear. Thanks so much for all of your time.

It is impossible to tell what you are showing and what you want.

If A1 holds 350, then

=Min(a1,formula to return max miles allowed)

would give you what you want. The original question never talked about a
range greater than 800. the formula I gave could be modified to accomodate
that)

The following formula was given to me but I don't think that I was explaining
my self very well. I have mapped a table below that I think explains it a
little better. I just feel like either Choose is not the right function or it
needs some help(much like me)ha ha. Any help appreciated, Thanks

=IF(OR('9508'!$E$2="",'9508'!$E$2=0),"",CHOOSE(TRU NC('9508'!$E$2/200)+1,100,200,300,400,500))

Thank you for the post sorry so long to respond. I just think we are taking
the wrong path here with the CHOOSE FUNCTION. All the senarios work to cap
everyones miles but the problem remains that I don't want to increase miles
turned in that are below the cap in the first place. You are right to
question the reference to G47 we must use that as a reference point for each
cap. a table would be something like this.

mileage turned in $amount of production break points max mileage
allowed
9501$E$2 $G$47 <$100
none
9501$E$2 $G$47 $100-$199
100 miles
9501$E$2 $G$47 $200-$399
200 miles
9501$E$2 $G$47 $400-$599
300 miles
9501$E$2 $G$47 $600-$799
400 miles
9501$E$2 $G$47 $800
500 miles

The senario we have not accounted for is if someone has (mileage turned in
=350 miles) ($amount of production = $800) (Break point used = $800) (max
mileage allowed = 500) We want to pay only for the 350 miles turned in. So
the formula would have to look at this table and say look at $G$47 and find
which range it belongs to, then look at max miles allowed and if <=max miles
allowed"" if max miles allowed then = max miles
