How can I calculate a rate crossing different periods?
Per the picture: let’s say I charge $100 for 1 year (Jan 2022 - Dec 2022) and $120 (Jan 2023 - Dec 2023).
But I have a customer that wants work done from July 22 - June 23. So I want to take 50% of 100 and 50% of 120. So I would charge a rate of $110.

I want a formula that can calculate the dates and automatically prorate/etc… (including random date starts and not limited to the 1st, i.e May 17, 2022 - May 16, 2023).
