Let me rather put it this way: I don't think using VLOOKUP solves the
underlying problem, which is that too much is being done in one
formula.
For any complicated formula, I feel the best solution is either a
custom written user function, or intermediate steps in columns. Hide
those columns, or
Another trick that occurred to me when viewing that spreadsheet was
this one: Some of the column headers contain values that are needed in
calculations. Say for instance you have a column header in cell A1 that
reads Max units 250. You can extract the value (250) with
=VALUE(RIGHT(A1,3))
Or, you

Hylton,
If you can breakup the formula into smaller units you might find the
problem.
Often when I have had a similar problem I found the my problem
was I reversed test in an IF clause.
Thanks, I have checked all the IF tests and mathematically they

I would agree, but it should still work.

I like Brian's MIN/MAX idea too but the price might well need to

That idea is equally applicable to your current arrangement - with

I still think the VLOOKUP function can help tremendously but it does, in
practice, need one or two more columns in the lookup table.
The table as it exists has the number of units in each range, rather
than the values at the breakpoints. These breakpoint values are vital,
as they are what
Hi,

If the editing cursor is placed in a certain section of the formula,
only the 'Function Result' answer box holds the correct answer i.e.
