Help Creating Quoting Formula - Please and Thank You
I am trying to build on a quote spreadsheet I made for a moving company. I am about to obviously add numbers to a field and based on those numbers I have a formula to add them together to get a total price. This is Trip Charge + # of Men and # of Trucks. What I want to create or see if its possible to create is a predictive or suggestion based spreadsheet.
Where someone who has never done moving could enter say square-footage from customer and have a suggested # of Men and # of Trucks set up and form I already created could suggest price.
Example: 2,200 SQFT home typically would take 4 men 1 Truck 6-7hours, I want to be able to type in 2,200sqft and it auto populates 4 men and 1 truck in cells, but I also want to be able to change cells incase for example I need to switch it to two trucks. I believe a table below would help but I don't know functions to connect it all.
SQFT | # of Floors | # of Men | # of Trucks | # of Hours
500 > 1000 1 2 1 2
500 > 1000 2>= 2 1 2
1000 > 1250 1 2 1 3
1000 > 1250 2>= 3 1 3
1250 > 1500 1 3 1 4
1250 > 1500 2>= 3 1 4
1500 > 2000 1 3 1 5
1500 > 2000 2>= 4 1 5
2000 > 2500 1 4 1 6
2000 > 2500 2>= 4 1 7
2500 > 3000 1 4 2 7
2500 > 3000 2>= 4 2 8
3000 > 3500 1 6 3 8
3000 > 3500 2>= 6 3 9

Basically That would be table and suggested set ups. When the number of men, trucks and hours are in proper cells it would have a total price. Each man is $35 each truck is $30
4 Man 2 Truck Job is $200 per hour + Trip Charge. so this would be for 7 hours = $1,400 + Trip Charge
Thanks For any help with lay out or formulas guys.
I'm almost sure there is an
I'm almost sure there is an easier way to do this. But I have provided a solution to your request using a simple if statement. As this is my first input to this site, I have no idea how to share the file I made. But I added the information you gave in your message as a list with index numbers (serial numbering), then the If statement would choose the right row to bring back data from based on submitted SQFT and number of floors.
