I'm attempting to make a matrix calculate properly. The calculation is cumulative, with a new percentage used at certain thresholds:

Here's how the matrix would be used. Cells H65 through K71 calculate the cumulative payouts by quarter based on a persons sales. For example, if a person's sales for quarter 1 were $60K, they would receive an incentive of 5% against the first $49,999 and 10% for the next $20K. Once a threshold is reached all future incentives are calculated from dollar one (in this example, this individual would be paid 10% on all future sales until they reached $100K. They would then be paid 15%, etc.)

Right now the array H65:K71 simply applies a percentage against a total from another cell in the spreadsheet which is incorrect. The solution likely requires a complex IF/THEN statement, but I'm having a little difficulty putting it together. Any assistance from the community would be helpful. Thanks in advance for all contributions.

If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
presumably you must have a table of historic sales by person by date of sale ?
you would need this to be able to calculate at which point accelerat

presumably given the layout of the matrix the incentives are "reset" each quarter ?

could you provide samples of the sales table so the guys and gals here can provide some calcs for you based on these other key ranges ?

thanks

I'll address these separately:

Sort of. See my answer to your third qustion below.

presumably given the layout of the matrix the incentives are "reset" each quarter ?

No. The person continues receiving the current threshold payout until the next one is reached.

could you provide samples of the sales table so the guys and gals here can provide some calcs for you based on these other key ranges ?

The "table" is filled out quarterly by the salesperson and looks like this:

Cells H29:K29 provide the totals I would be working with from quarter to quarter.
