Auto-Incrementing Invoice ID:
=IF(ISBLANK(A2), "INV-"&TEXT(TODAY(),"yy")&"-"&TEXT(1+MAX(IF(ISNUMBER(VALUE(MID(tblInvoice[Invoice ID],6,10))),VALUE(MID(tblInvoice[Invoice ID],6,10)),0)),"000"), A2)
(Requires array entry with Ctrl+Shift+Enter in legacy versions.)
Dynamic Base Rate Lookup:
=XLOOKUP([@Service Type]&"_"&[@Region], CostBreakdown[Service Type] & "_" & CostBreakdown[Region Zone], CostBreakdown[Base Rate per lb], "N/A", 0)
Dynamic Fuel Surcharge:
=[@Base Rate per lb] * (FuelSurchargeMultiplier / 100) * [@Weight]
Running Total by Month:
Use a Pivot Table on the Invoice Master data with Date Issued grouped by month, and Total Amount Due summed.
