    Can't get percentage to change depending on the sum value

    Hi
    I don't know if there is a formula for this? but here's the problem

    Let's say I want to give company staff a bonus based on the amount of sales they earn?

    If they earn below £5000 of sales in a month, their bonus would be 5%, if they earn between £5000 - £10,000 of sales in a month then they would receive 10% and 15% for anything above, so need the percentage to change once the value reaches each threshold.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    I'm not sure this is the simplest formula to solve your problem but try

    =IF(A1<=5000,A1*5%,IF(A1<=10000,A1*10%,IF(A1>10000,A1*15%,0)))

    Based on the sales number being in cell A1.

    Less than or equal to 5000 is 5%
    Less than or equal to 10000 is 10%

    Anything more 15%

    I would use a lookup table and a lookup function for something like this (vlookup() function help: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...rs=en-US&ad=US )
