Hello, I basically work for an insurance broker and I am attempting to create a commission calculator within excel. I need it to allow the user to simply enter firstly a total amount in one cell. And for them to then enter the initials (two digits only) of the insurance company the premium is with. This is the issue. I cannot for the life of me get a formula to work as the formula will not know the value to check until the user has entered it.
I need the formula to check the two digit insurer initial (against my hidden tab that contains all initials and also the commission levels in a seperate column) and return me just the value of the commission.
Any ideas? I have tried the VLOOKUP formula but it seems to want to know the value to search for, yet the cell won't know this until the user has entered it.
HELP!!!!
