Hi everyone,


I’m struggling to nest an IF formula that would apply a sales commission % to any other agents that make a sale.


Current Formula:


IF({Agent}=“Me”, {Agent}*.24,



IF({Agent}="(Help)", {Agent}*.20,



IF({Agent}=Blank(), 0,"")))




For the Help portion, I currently want it to show that if any Agent in future were to make a sale, then the commission % would be applied to them, regardless of who they are.

Hi @Cal_King, try


Agent != “Me”


i.e not equal to me

@JonathanBowen thank you for the reply.


It didn’t quite work for me.


Ideally, I’m looking for a way to calculate the 20% commission for whomever I name as an {AGENT} for future sales - but until then, leaving it blank.



  • If “I’m”={Agent}, then 24% * {Grs.Sale}

  • If “Mgr”={AGENT}, 30%*{GrsSale)

  • If “AnyoneElse”={AGENT}, 20%*{Grs.Sale}



  • If BLANK, 0 commission


I know that an easier way would be to keep a running list of Agents and simply link the {AGENT} sheet to that field but the layout I current have auto-calculates after manually entering AR, AP, and AGENT.

Does this apply the proper logic?


IF(NOT({Agent}),

0,

{Grs.Sale} * SWITCH(

    {Agent},

    "Me", .24,

    "Mgr", .3,

    .2

)

If there’s no agent listed, the value is zero. If there’s an agent, then multiply the {Grs.Sale} value by a percentage that depends on who the agent is. If it’s “Me”, it’s 24%. If it’s “Mgr”, it’s 30%. If it’s anyone else, it’s 20%
