My problem is described below: A bookshop wishes to calculate a discount for orders based on 2 factors (Customer type and number of books) Customer types are individual, library, school and educational institution. The breakdown of discounts is different for individuals than for the other customer types. Individual <5 0% ?5?24 15% >25 25% Other <5 5% ?5?14 10% ?15?24 15% ?25?49 20% >50 30% I set up a simple spreadsheet cust type is cell B1 and quantity of books is cell B3 I am puuting my IF statement in cell B5 which is labelled as discount. The first IF statement step I did works (I think) IF((AND(B1="Individual",B3<5)),0,NA) so I figured I could adjust it for the other steps and add it all together. Unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work. I haven't done IF statements before but I think it may be my use of brackets? My other sugestions to make the IF statement complete for the individual customer type are ((AND(B1="Individual",B3?5?24)),15,NA) ((AND(B1="Individual",B3>25)),25,NA) But then I need to add the same for the other customer types and book breakdowns. Anyone any ideas?
