Excel formula

[Kyle P.]

I am trying to set up a spreadsheet to show the costs, after rebates, for a
solar array. They rebate for New York is $1.75 per watt. That would be an
easy formula of: =the number of watts*1.75, or =(C9*1000)*1.75 on my
spreadsheet.

However, they only reimburse a customer up to 5000 watts. what formula can I
use to get excel to properly calculate this cell?

Thanks for any help possible,
Kyle Parenzan

Hi Kyle

=MAX(5000,(C9*1000))*1.75

 

[Paul C]

Use MIN
=MIN((C9*1000)*1.75 ,5000*1.75))

Once C9*1000 exceeds 5000 W the 5000*1.75 will be the smaller of the two

Thanks Paul,
I hate when I miss a simple, creative way to problem solve! Really
shoulda seen that, let's call it inexperience.

Thanks Again,

oops!

Meant to write MIN
=MIN(5000,(C9*1000))*1.75
