Sorry Michelle...you are going to have to be way more specific...I am lost

First you say each year has 23 discounts...then you say you want to
determine a year and that will give you the discount amount...what
determines the year?  What determines which discount for that year you want?
The rep's name?

Sorry...I can't do this without specifics

I need to know EXACTLY what info you will be starting with.

You open the workbook and type in WHAT?  The rep's name?  The year?  Then,
how do you determine which discount applies to that rep and that year?? 

If you are just going to manually type in a year and a discount, then you
can use a vlookup to return the commission for that discount

Or...if you are typing in a year and SOME CRITERIA that determines the
discount for that rep, you can use a vlookup if you have a table setup that
tells what discount each rep gets.

But, unless I know this stuff, I'm no good to you...sorry

I want to check an entry in a spreadsheet that will tell me what year,
then another cell will contain the discount amount. Those two, together
would determine the commission and then I would do a calculation with the
commission value that is returned.

Thanks,

So..what info will you be starting with?  Just a sales rep's name?  Or the
year?

Sorry, but I'm confused.

What info will you be typing in and what info do you want Excel to return
to
you?  EXACTLY

There are 3 years,
Year 1 has 23 discounts and for each discount there's a commission
Year 2 has same, etc for Year 3

I can change the format of the data if I need to. I thought of making 3
tables (one for each year) and each table would have discounts and
commissions.

Thanks,
