How complicated is it? How many years will there be and is there only one commission rate for each year? How is the data laid out? Linda F. Johnson, M.A., MOS Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com Free e-Books, Newsletter, and tutorials -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michele Wong Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 7:34 PM To: MSO Group (MSO Freelist Group) Subject: [mso] Performing Calculations Using IF or VLOOKUP Here is the situation. I have a client who has several sales reps working for him. I need to be able to look up and perform a calculation for commissions based on two criteria: 1) The year - Year 1, Year 2, or Year 3 2) The Discount amount allowed within that year Once I determine the year, then I need to look up within that year for the discount authorized in order to find a commission that goes with that year and that discount. I have thought about using IF statements, but I think that the scenario is too complicated for that. If I use VLOOKUP, it almost seems that I need to have a table within a table to do this properly? Can anyone tell me the best way to do this? Thanks, Michele B.
