Need help with a conditional formula

Copper Contributor

I need to crerate a formula that will add $100 everytime an account increases $10,000. So, basically, if I have an account with $5,000, the fee is $100. As soon as the account grows to $10,000, the fee increases by $100 to total $200, then when the account reaches $30,000, the fee increases another $100 to $300 an so on. I am struggling to create it - would love some help. Thanks!

Hi Mike,

 

if you had the account balance in C2, incremental fee base (10,000) in C3, incremental fee in C4, then your can use the formula =ROUNDUP((C2+0.01)/C3,0)*C4

 

Thanks

Thank you so much - heading to the spreadsheet now!

you can solve it by using the modulo function like this:

=A1+100+MOD(A1;10000)*100

where 100 is your fee and cell A1 contains the value to which the fee/fees should be added to.

Thank you! I am also in need of help with another formula. Basically I have a number that increases every month based on using 50% of another increasing number - but I need the final number to stop once it meets a certain level with the rest then remaining in the first number. Any ideas?

Thank you! This worked PERFECTLY!!! I am also in need of help with another formula. Basically I have a number that increases every month based on using 50% of another increasing number - but I need the final number to stop once it meets a certain level with the rest then remaining in the first number. Any ideas?

Could you describe this more in detail?

Maybe making an example?

I am working on a spreadsheet for an investment. What I want to do be able to do is start withdrawing an amount (% of monthly earnings) with the rest staying in the account to grow. But once I reach a certain amount, I want to stop having that amount increase every month with the rest staying in the account. I am attaching the spreadsheet and you can se that in 'B5', I set the cap on what I want to withdraw at $15,000/month. I want this to be so anyone who looks at this will have the ability to set this amount at any number they wish. Does this help?
