    If function for a variable

    I have a problem with how to calculate commissions for the salespeople which are based on the commission for the company.

    If there is under 10% gross commission for the company, the salesperson gets 25% of the commission.
    $1000.00 sale 9% gross commission, the company gets $90.00 and the salesperson earns $22.50.

    If there is a gross commission of 10%-14%, the company, the salesperson gets 30% of the gross commission.
    $1000.00 sale 10% gross commission, the company gets $100.00 and the salesperson earns $25.00.

    If there is a gross commission of 15% or more, the salesperson get 35% of the gross commission.
    $1000.00 sale 20% gross commission, the company gets $200.00 and the salespersons earns $75.00.

    Now, I have to put in 3 columns and figure each separately and then a fourth column to add those three columns.

    Any ideas how to shorten this.

    Hi

    Can you post a sample worksheet (no confidential information) so we can see the layout and give you a formula to match your sheet

    Hi BJ1 and welcome to the forum.

    I think you are looking for a VLookup function with a TRUE as the last argument. Then you can use a Table for the lookup values. See the attached. I don't know if the Percent Profit should be from the Cost or the Price, but the Vlookup works.
