Hi All
I am just trying to write my first bit of VBA and have found it quite easy
however I have then come to input the formula in my cell and it doesnt work.

I have created a lot of variations within the VBA saving each version but I
always get a error usually #REF #VALUE or #NAME - when these appear I use
the excel help with no avail.

My spreadsheet is customer type column b and quanitity of books column c

My function / formulae is being entered into column D

= Discount (B4,C4)

My VBA forst draft is below...

Function Discount(Customer_Type As String, Quantity_of_bks As Integer)
If Customer_Type = "Individual" And Quantity_of_bks < 5 Then Discount = 0#
                                If Quantity_of_bks >= 5 And Quantity_of_bks
< 24 Then Discount = 0.15
                                If Quantity_of_bks > 25 Then Discount = 0.25
ElseIf Quanitity_of_bks < 5 Then Discount = 0.05
    If Quanitity_of_bks >= 5 < 14 Then Discount = 0.1
    If Quantity_of_bks >= 15 < 24 Then Discount = 0.15
    If Quantity_of_bks >= 25 < 49 Then Discount = 0.2
    If Quantity_of_bks > 50 Then Discount = 0.3
End If
End Function

Things I have tried include an End IF after the first IF and an END If at
after every line I have also tried writing in the other customer types
options so instead of having an Else IF I have another IF e.g. If
Customer_Type = "Educational Inst" or "Library" or "School" And .......
Nothing seemed to create a result when the function is input in the cell.

I am not sure whether my VBA is incorrect or the Formulae.  I dont even mind
if I get an incorrect answer I can amend the VBA but I cant get past the
errors.

Can anyone help?
Thanks
Rache
