Commission Scale

I have a commision pay scale where the 1st four units sold are not to be paid to the sales person.
Between 5 - 15 units sold, 3% commission is paid
Between 16 - 25 units sold, 4% commission is paid
Between 26 - 40 units sold, 5% commission is paid
Between 41 - 52 units sold, 6% commission is paid
Also, commission for each level attained is retroactive to the 5th unit sold.
When 53 units are sold, commission is paid from the first unit and increases to 7.5%

My sheet looks like this:

I6 = # of units sold
J6 = Price
K6 = Commission Paid
In K6, my formula looks like this:
=IF($I$101<5,J6*0,IF($I$101<16,J6*3%,IF($I$101<26,J6*4%,IF($I$101<41,J6*5%,IF($I$101<53,J6*6%,IF($I$101>=53,J6*7.5%))))))

I don't know how to sum the total commission paid in K101 because they will also be entering other products sold at different rates in different columns, so some cells will be empty in column K. Also, how would I sum column K but exclude adding the first 4 units sold? :(
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Hi Try this in K6, untested
Code:
=LOOKUP(I6,{0,5,15,25,40,52,52},{"0","0.03","0.04","0.05","0.06","0.075"})


Also, could you use a SUMIF if I6 greater then zero for your commision total ?
Code:
=SUMIF(I6:I100,">0",K6:K100)

Create the following 2-column list on a sheet named Admin in A2:A7 and B2:B7...

0,0
5,3%
16,4%
26,5%
41,6%
53,7.5%

Name A2:A7 UnitSales, B2:B7 Rates via the Name Box.

K6 on the target sheet...

=J6*LOOKUP(I101,UnitSales,Rates)

Thanks, but I have formulas all the way down Coulmn K starting with K6 which look like this:
=IF($I$101<5,J6*0,IF($I$101<16,J6*3%,IF($I$101<26,J6*4%,IF($I$101<41,J6*5%,IF($I$101<53,J6*6%,IF($I$101>=53,J6*7.5%))))))

So, I'm trying to sum the total in K101 while excluding the 1st four entries. There may be some empty cells in those 1st four cells, so I need to find a way to exclude them even if they are further down the column. :confused:

Why don't you replace your chain of IF's with the LOOKUP suggestion
which calculates very fast.
