This one might be tough...

Question

This issue is hard to explain. Simplest is to to show the link to open up the Numbers document and then explain. The spreadsheet can be accessed at

So, when I select, for example, a 4x6 print ( in Sheet one, table one, the 2C cell) at the volume of two items (in cell 2D) then the print item is multiplied by number ordered and totaled in the next column (in cell 2E). Those figures work off of Sheet 3 in the Regular Price List table. So when I change a price for, say, a 5x7" print in Regular Price List table on sheet three, the calculations in Sheet one are adjusted. Works fine. However, with large prints (over 17x22") I have to have them printed out of house and have a separate lab cost that I don't want to include in my volume discount pricing calculations ( If someone orders only extra large prints I end up rewarding them with discounts and accruing too much lab costs and it doesn't work well ). Soooo... on Sheet 3 in the same Regular Price List Table I have added a third column that includes my lab costs for extra large prints. WHAT I WANT IS to have the lab costs of column three (sheet three, Regular Price List, 11C -13 C) placed in the Grand total box AFTER volume discount calculations (Sheet three, Grand Total, Lab Costs line: 8C ). I still want the regular or primary price to show up where it is. The corollary lab cost needs to go to the Lab Cost line in the grant total table.
What's more, as if that wasn't enough, is that I want, in instances where there are more than one such lab cost, the cell for lab cost in the grand total table to contain the sum of all the lab costs.

And even harder to read when dumped into a single blob of words. Step one is to separate it into paragraphing to make the question more readable.

One way to do tis would be to add a column to show the lab cost, if any, for each order item on the same line as the item, then add that column over the four 'order' tables into the appropriate cell on the Grant Total table.
Rather than mess up the formatting, though, I chose to add an auxiliary table ('Lab costs')to do the calculations, then transfer the total to that cell.
Formulas:
B2:   =SUMIF('First $100 Block' :: $C,A2,'First $100 Block' :: $D)+SUMIF('Second $100 Block' :: $C,A2,'Second $100 Block' :: $D)+SUMIF('Third $100 Block' :: $C,A2,'Third $100 Block' :: $D)
C2:   =B2*LOOKUP($A2,Regular Price List :: $A,Regular Price List :: $C)
D2:   =SUMIF('Prints for 50% (EXCEPT FOR LAB COSTS)' :: $D,A2,'Prints for 50% (EXCEPT FOR LAB COSTS)' :: $E)
E2:   =D2*LOOKUP($A2,Regular Price List :: $A,Regular Price List :: $C)
F2:   =C2+E2
All filled down to row 4.
F5:   =SUM(F)
In the Lab costs cell on Grand Total:   ='Lab costs ' :: F5
