Default Return a Value Using Multiple Sources

Oh, and important note, the percent rage in yoru source should be the low end
of your range (i.e. - .01 then .05, etc.), not a range of numbers. the
VLOOKUP will return the lowest value that is less than or equal to your B2
cell n that example.

I need to return a value (a $AMOUNT) based on the following information:
TITLE, LEVEL 1 2 3 or 4, and a percentage range.

Ex: If the [TITLE, ie: Store Manager] exceeds their sales plan by a
[PERCENTAGE RANGE, ie: 1-5%], then they receive a certain bonus [$AMOUNT]
based on their [LEVEL].

The static information is currently set up in a chart as follows:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
Title 1
Percentage Range 1 $X $X $X $X
Percentage Range 2 $X $X $X $X
Percentage Range 3 $X $X $X $X
Percentage Range 4 $X $X $X $X
Title 2
Percentage Range 1 $X $X $X $X
Percentage Range 2 $X $X $X $X
Percentage Range 3 $X $X $X $X
Percentage Range 4 $X $X $X $X

The variable/monthly info is in a basic spreadsheet format and contains the
info that tells me who is entitled to receive a bonus, but ultimately I need
to return the $AMOUNT they should receive based on the chart above.

Help? Thanks!!
