OrientDig Spreadsheet: Automate Cost Calculations with Formulas

2025-11-25

Managing budgets and cost calculations manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors. With OrientDig Spreadsheet, you can automate these calculations using simple yet powerful formulas. This guide will walk you through setting up automatic totals for product costs, shipping fees, and service charges, ensuring precise budget management every time.

Why Automate Cost Calculations?

Automation reduces manual entry errors, saves time, and provides real-time updates to your budget. Whether you're running an e-commerce store, a service-based business, or managing project expenses, automated calculations help you stay on top of your finances effortlessly.

Setting Up Automatic Totals

1. Product Cost Calculation

To calculate the total product cost automatically, use the SUM

=SUM(B2:B10)


        This formula adds up all values in the specified range, giving you the total product cost instantly.
        
        2. Shipping Fees Calculation
        Shipping fees can vary based on weight, distance, or other factors. Use the IFVLOOKUP
        
=IF(C2>10, 15, 5)

        This formula charges $15 if the weight (in cell C2) is over 10kg, and $5 otherwise.
        
        3. Service Charges Calculation
        Service charges can be a fixed percentage of the product cost. Use the multiplication operator to calculate this automatically. For example, if the service charge is 5% of the total product cost (in cell D2), the formula would be:
        =D2*0.05
        This calculates the service charge as 5% of the value in cell D2.



    
        Combining All Calculations
        To get the total cost (product cost + shipping fees + service charges), combine the formulas into a single cell. Assuming:
        
            Total product cost is in cell E2
            Total shipping fees are in cell F2
            Total service charges are in cell G2
        
        The formula for the overall total would be:
        =E2+F2+G2
        This ensures that any changes in product costs, shipping fees, or service charges are reflected in the total automatically.
