Hi!

Maybe something like this:

=IF(AND(I3="PLAN",OR(Z3={"Mark","Kath","Steve"})), P3*0.5,IF(AND(I3<"PLAN",OR(Z3={"Mark","Kath","Ste ve"})),P3*0.7,""))

i run a spreadsheet that calculates commision for sales people
Column I is a product list - 40 products or so
Column P is total sales value
Column Z is the name of a sales person who shares the commission with the
main "owner" of the worksheet. (Each worksheet is for one sales
person -but
commission can be shared), there are 6 potenial sharers all of whom are in
a
list called TEAM
One product"PLAN" shares the commission 50-50 between the sheet owner and
the person in Column Z, all other products share 70-30

How do i write an IF statement that says something like:
IF(I3="PLAN" and Z3="Mark or Kath or Steve etc", p3*.5, but if
I3="Anything
apart from PLAN" and Z3="mark or kath or steveetc",P3*.7)
