I am trying to use the lookup function to display the price of a widget with
a given volume that I will use as an input cell. The issue the volume is a
range using two cells. See below


Volume Price
- 10,000 3.00
10,000 - 50,000 2.00
50,001 - 100,000 1.00

How do I setup a lookup formula to accomplish this? Keep in mind the ranges
of volume per price are in two separate cells. So 0 and 10,000 have their
own cell.

IF the given volume is in A12 and your table is in
A1:C4 then the following formula should work:
= SUMPRODUCT((A2:A4<=A12)*(B2:B4=A12)*(C2:C4))

Just keep in mind that I assumed there is a typo, since 10.000 is in
two ranges. If it is not and someone was to buy exactly 10.000 the
formula will return 5...

Best regards
Per Erik

it should be 10,001 in line two.

I do not need to calculate the revenue just need to bring up the correct
price based on the volume.

So would I just get rid of the multiplication?

No, just enter the formula as it is.
And if you enter 15.000 in A12 the result will be 2.

eric, what if the last band has no end range so:

50,001 -

Thanks for you help!

With you volume entered in A1, try this:

=LOOKUP(A1,{0,1,10001,50001;0,3,2,1})

That was brilliant, much better than my solution!

Ragdyer I do not understand your formula? Can't I just put in the cell
reference of the values?

If you used my example starting in A1, I want to be able to type the volume
(lets say this is in A12) and what will pop out is the price.

So if I type in cell a12 40,000 units my price will be $2.00. The issue is
as well I have multiple price points so column be is for 1 year price, if you
add in an additional column for year 2 price which would be different that
column b

Year 1 Price Year 2 Price

0 - 10,000 $3.00 $2.50
10,001 - 50,000 $2.00 $1.50
50,001 - $1.00 $0.50

So my table where this will formula will go looks like this

Year 1 Price Year 2 Price

and I have the expected volume in a different cell that will be where the
user will input the volume.

Year 1 Price volume entered in A12:
=LOOKUP(A12,{0,1,10001,50001;0,3,2,1})

Year 2 Price volume entered in B12:
=LOOKUP(B12,{0,1,10001,50001;0,2.5,1.5,0.5})


If you insist on a datalist, for future additions, you could try this:
In X1 to Z4, enter this:

X Y Z
1 0 0 0
2 1 3 2.5
3 10001 2 1.5
4 50001 1 0.5

Then, use this formula for Year 1 Pricing:
=VLOOKUP(A12,X1:Z4,2)

And use this formula for Year 2 Pricing:
=VLOOKUP(B12,X1:Z4,3)
