vlookup?
I'm trying to extract commission amounts for various sales reps from a table
with known number of columns but varying number of rows each month. I want to extract values from certain columns and rows pertaining to each sales rep to create a commission report and then a summary calculating the total pay for each rep. The report comes from our servicing company and is not broken down by sales rep. The table shows the name of the various companies who purchased our product. We know which sales rep sold to which company, but the servicing company doesn't. I need to create a report that summarizes each sales rep's sales based on the company name for various products sold, all of which have differing commission percentages. We have about 10 categories of products. Where do I start? |

Thanks Gary!
I know about pivot tables for viewing information in various ways in a table, but I want to automatically extract certain information from a table and populate another Excel spreadsheet where I can do the commission calculations. Then I want to populate another spreadsheet to summarize each sales reps commissions and show total commissions paid to that sales rep and the same information for all other sales reps. Again, the commission report from the company is for all sales reps and is not broken down by sales rep. The sales reps names are not even on the report. It's just a list of all the products purchased by various companies from all the sales reps. We know which company was sold by which rep and that's what I need to organize and summarize from the raw unsorted, unallocated information from the company.

without a specific layout, i doubt you will get a total solution. what about
an autofilter? you could filter by company and then copy the data where you need it. -- Gary Keramidas Excel 2003 "Gary" wrote in message ... Thanks Gary!

Thanks again Gary! However, that's what the bookkeeper is doing now - copying
and pasting from one Excel spread sheet to another. It's tedious and time consuming. I'm not convinced there's not an automatic solution. It's simply a database and we need to extract certain information from it so we can create commission reports for everyone. I don't believe I'm the first person to ever need to do this. I simply want to convert raw data into meaningful data I can use to calculate and pay commissions. I want to do this with as little effort as possible.

i'm sure it could be automated, just not with the information provided.
you could email a sample or just post the detailed layout in the programming group and there's a chance you will get a solution. but i'm guessing it is going to entail writing some code. -- Gary Keramidas Excel 2003 "Gary" wrote in message ...
