Begging one more time....Stuck on this....tracking Retainage %
I am trying to figure out a formula that will automatically figure retainage
for pay applications. We keep 10% retainage until we reach 50% of the total construction cost. After that they are totally retained. My spreadsheet is set of to retain 10% already. How can I have it check the total contracted amount and quit removing 10% once retainage has reached 50% of the total contract amount? I am using excel 2003. We usually get billed monthly for six months. Thanks! Trying to finish this up so I can distribute in the AM -- Darrel |

Well, if you are so desparate for an answer it would help if you were
to give further details rather than just repeat what you posted earlier - presumably you had no replies to that one? Post details of your data layout, any formulae you currently use, what you have tried already, what doesn't work. In particular, explain how you cope with the retained amount at present, perhaps with a small example, and what you would like to achieve ultimately.

The best way to get an answer is to give enough information to get to a
solution. What's retainage? What formula are you currently using? Based on the information you've provided, it looks like a simple if statement will do the job, as in: =if(Cost50%*TotalCost,10%*TotalCost,Cost) -- Regards, Fred "Darrel" (donotspam) wrote in message ...

Begging one more time....Stuck on this....tracking Retainage %
Project Total=600,000 (H35)
E36 F36 G36 H36 Current Payment Retainage Paid Running balance 100,000.00 $10,000.00 90,000.00 510,000.00 =IF(H3650%*H35,10%*E36,0) This appears to work, would using .5 be better? Sorry first time on here I hust figured out how to reply without re-posting.

50% and .5 are exactly the same amount. It's a matter of personal taste.
