I think you have to do this:
<@ASSIGN q "<@CALC 'floor(<@ARG QTY> / 12)'>">

Sorry if I am dense, Beverly, but I am not able to get this to

of half works.
Here is what I am doing...
<@ASSIGN r "<@CALC '<@ARG QTY> % 12'>">
<@ASSIGN q "<@CALC '<@ARG QTY> / 12'>">
<@CALC "(<@VAR q> * 26.00) + ( This is a search for <@VAR r> which
returns
the <@COLUMN shipcost.price> )">
Now, if I plug in the number 1 (quantity 1) This would look like
this...
R = 1
Q = 0.0833333333333333
Thus I get...
0.0833333333333333 * 26.00 + (14.50) = 16.6666666666667
Answer should be 14.50
And if plug in the number 13 (quantity 13) I get...
R = 1
Q = 1.08333333333333
Thus I get...
1.08333333333333 * 26.00 + (14.50) = 42.6666666666666
Answer should be 40.50

Use the MODULO function to get the remainder.
r = QTY % 12
Along with the quotient.
q = QTY / 12
(q * 26.00) + ( {lookup what the price is for "r" items} )

Having a hard time wrapping my head around this one. Any help
would be
appreciated.
Let's say we have bottles of perfume for sale. For shipping, we can
fit 12 bottles into a box. Each box is sent separately via a
courrier.
The courrier charges x amount for each box plus weight. To make a
long
story shorter, in this scenario, we have different charges for
quantities of bottles within a box. So, for a specific zone, we
charge
like so...
Quantity Price
1 $14.50
2 $15.50
3 $16.50
4 $18.50
5 $18.75
6 $19.00
7 $20.00
8 $21.00
9 $22.00
10 $23.00
11 $25.00
12 $26.00
Now the problem is the thirteenth bottle. We need to charge 26.00
+ 14.50.
14th bottle would be 26.00 + 15.50.
15th bottle would be 26.00 + 16.50, etc.
And to continue following this format...
24 bottles would be 26.00 + 26.00
25 bottles would be 26.00 + 26.00 + 14.50
26 bottles would be 26.00 + 26.00 + 15.50
27 bottles would be 26.00 + 26.00 + 16.50, etc.
There is a formula in there somehow, but I am having a devil of a
time
trying to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
