Hi



I hope someone can help. Per the attached screen shot I am trying to implement date specific formulas in columns W through AK.

Column O is the total funding available. A 20% retention (Column R) and 5% audit check amount (Column Q) are withheld from this total until the end of the contract period leaving column P as the amount to work with.

The monthly amount (Column U) is calculated by dividing Column P by Column T.
The first payment is dependant on whether column V matches the cells W1 through AK1 and is 2 months up front. The following months will be the monthly amount in column U.
When the sum of these payments matches the amount of Column P then the Retention amount is released. Lastly the audit amount it released. The sum of all these amounts should total the amount in Column O.

The formulas I have tried to use are as follows:

W2 (This is an easy calculation and works fine.)
=IF(DATE(YEAR($V2),MONTH($V2),DAY(0))=DATE(YEAR(W$ 1),MONTH(W$1),DAY(0)),$U2*2,"")

X2
=IF(DATE(YEAR($V2),MONTH($V2),DAY(0))=DATE(YEAR(x$ 1),MONTH(x$1),DAY(0)),U2*2,IF(SUM($W2)=$P2,$R2,IF( SUM($W2)=SUM($R2+$P2),$Q2,IF(SUM($W2)=$O2,"",$U2)) ))

Y2
=IF(DATE(YEAR($V2),MONTH($V2),DAY(0))=DATE(YEAR(y$ 1),MONTH(y$1),DAY(0)),U2*2,IF(SUM($W2:$Y2)=$P2,$R2 ,IF(SUM($W2:$Y2)=SUM($R2+$P2),$Q2,IF(SUM($W2:$y2)= $O2,"",$U2))))

etc.

(Note: The attachment is how the spreadsheet should look but I have been unable to match this.)

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome
Please post a sample sheet. Pics are nice to look at but hard to work with

First of all, may I point out that your Column P should be "Less 25%", not "Less 15%"

Maybe something like this (see attached)...

Basically, the equation for the first month is a nested if:

=IF(I1>$H2,$G2,IF(I1=$H2,2*$G2,""))

If test month (I1) > Process Month (H2), 1x the Monthly Amount (G2), else
If test month (I1) = Process Month (H2), 2x the Monthly Amount (G2), else
[Less than]: ""

The other months all have the same nested ifs:

=IF(SUM($I2:I2)=$A2,"",IF(SUM($I2:I2)=$B2+$D2,$C2, IF(SUM($I2:I2)=$B2,$D2,IF(J1>$H2,$G2,IF(J1=$H2,2*$ G2,"")))))

If the amounts to the left = Total Allocation (A2), then "", else
If the amounts to the left = Less 25% (B2) + Retention (D2), then Audit (C2), else
If the amounts to the left = Less 25% (B2), Retention (D2), else
The first equation above.

Thanks for the update. Ill give that a go and update my findings.

Perfect, thanks Gebobs
