Pretty sure the above, converted to "normal English", means "If A1 is less than or equal to 5, then set value as 400000; else if A1 is than or equal to 9, set value to 600000, and so on...

Have that to work out the drilling cost, then use =SUM(B1+3000000) for the total cost.

The above assumes your rock thickness values are in the A-column and you're outputting drilling cost to the B-column; change those cell-addresses accordingly, paste the two formulae into the relevant columns!

It's been a while since I did any excel-formulae-programming, but I "think" that should work...

WOW
