Looking for matrix price solution based on length/width

I spent a lot of time in FAQ and the forum but I can't find solution.

Do somebody know some contribution or something like (free or to be paid) that allow to input the price based on a matrix price predefined by Length and Width?

Ex:

Thanks in advance

Re: Looking for matrix price solution based on length/width

Just off the top of my head (not much left up there:P), I'd say the simplest method is to set up dropdown attributes based on width (that would be eight dropdown attributes).
First Item -- Please Select with display only and required.
Second Item -- No Thanks -- They would have to select this if they didn't want that width.
Third thru Whatever -- Lengths with the appropriate cost for each.

User would have to select no thanks in the widths they did not want and select a length in the width they did want.

Product Attribute Grid in Free Addons may do what you want. It allows two dropdown/radiobutton options (with multiple choices for each) to be cross-referenced.

Re: Looking for matrix price solution based on length/width

Thanks to **dbltoe **and to **gjh42 **for answer me; but the suggestions is not a solution for me, let me rephrase my question:

The store will sell items with price based on the items dimensions, but the store’s admin does not have a price difference per attribute value just have a matrix price like the above example (actually is bigger than the example) and if you see the increments in the matrix is not the same on any way.

On the store side, the customer will have 2 dropdown to select width and length based on store admin already entered price, the customer don't need to see the matrix (as Product Attribute Grid do).

The point is how the store admin will enter the information to match the matrix price instead of define increments per attributes values?

Thanks in advance

You have to write software to do this. There's no built in solution.

Re: Looking for matrix price solution based on length/width

For information and clarification, are you saying that Product Attribute Grid is unable to handle the pricing functionality, or that you just don't like the way it handles it?

It doesn't do pricing at all. It's not designed to solve that problem; it solves a different problem.

Product Attribute Grid work providing a grid on store side in order to allow a customer to input how many item want; but is not what I am looking for.
