Need help with a formula
I need to subtract 2 different sets of dates to get a total amount of days.
Eg: (a-b)+(c-d) = e I then need to take the total (e) and multiply by 3 different integers if the total (e) is greater than 6 days,10 days and 31days. This helps me keep track how long my company trucks are out of a Rail/Ship Yard. I can't seem to get the dates to subtract and get an integer(regular number). and I'm dead lost on the greater than stuff. Of course the boss drops this on me on my first day. Any help or comments will come highly appreciated. Thank you |

One way
=A1*VLOOKUP(A1,{0,0;7,4;11,3;32,2},2) where A1 is your e, 7 stands for 6, 11 stands for 10 and 32 for 31 4 is what you multiply with for 6, 3 for 10 and 2 31 replace those with your numbers. -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Bryan J Bloom" <Bryan J wrote in message ...

One way:
E1: =(A1-B1+C1-D1) Format E1 as General or another number format F1: =IF(E1<=6,"",E1*LOOKUP(E1,{7,11,31},{1,2,3})) where 1,2,3 are your three different integers.

Need help with a formula
ok very well done and thank you. But now i need to break it down a little
further if possible. Like I posted earlier this is showing days out of rail/ship yard. What Im calculating is if the trailer is out of the RR more than 6 days. Then days 7,8,9 and 10 are to be multiplied by 17. Then days 11 through 30 are to be multiplied by 50 and 31 + multiplied by 100. So the formula you gave did the multiplication but multiplied (e) by only the integer amount not by a rising number(my fault) I'm trying to get it so that eg: the trailers been out 40 days(e). The first six are not multiplied. Days 7,8,9 and 10 (4 days) are multiplied by 17(68). Then the next 20 days are multiplied by 50(1000). Finally the last days 10 are multiplied by 100(1000) to make a total of 2068. Sorry for any confusion, was asked to get it one way then get told another..lol Thanks so much Bryan Bloom "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: One way =A1*VLOOKUP(A1,{0,0;7,4;11,3;32,2},2) where A1 is your e, 7 stands for 6, 11 stands for 10 and 32 for 31 4 is what you multiply with for 6, 3 for 10 and 2 31 replace those with your numbers. -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Bryan J Bloom" <Bryan J wrote in message ...
