I want to do a specialized shipping section. Here are my conditions:Base shipping is $4.75 cents. Every 5 pieces after the first 5 add 4.00 to shipping. Sets count as 5 pieces. I have assigned a shipping value to each item/set items =1 sets =5(could be more in the future)The formula looks like this:[math](((ceil [SV]\5)-1) x 4.00)+4.75[/math]where [SV] is the shipping valueHere would then be the result if 1 set and 1 piece where purchased SV is then 6. 6\5 is 1.1 rounded to 2. Subtract to get the value for the first 5 = 1 and multiply by $4.00 and add to $4.75 to get the total shipping of $8.75. Now I want to plug this into The shipping cost, but don't know how to get it in there. also is my use of parenthesis in the [math] function appropriate. :pSpeedyRobert Minor______________________________________Cybermill Communications8616 Joseph Ave.St. Louis, MO 63144(314) 962-4024webmaster@cybermill.comhttp://www.cybermill.com______________________________________PGP key available upon request.
