Dear Brian Thornton,
You may use the formula given below to calculate the total rent.
=SUM(IFERROR(LOOKUP(IF(E2-D2+1>=ROW(1:1000),ROW(1:1000)+D2-1,0),$A$2:$A$13,$B$2:$B$13),0))
The formula is to be entered as an Array Formula, using Control + Shift + Enter, instead of Enter.
The Names of the Month with Year are in cells A2 to A13.
The corresponding data for Price per day is in cells B2 to B13.
The Start Date is in cell D2.
The End Date is in Cell E2.
The Formula is presently in cell F2.
You may change the cell references as required.
Do let me know if this is what you want to do.
