we sell products that sometimes get "split" between 2 salespeople. I have set
up a basic spreadsheet that tracks sales and profit but can't figure out how
to account for "half deals" Any help would be appreciated and I can supply a
sample of the sheet if necessary.

Depends how you are "tracking" sales and profit.

In colums like this:
Date Customer Stk # Front End Holdback Total Gross M.T.D.
Total Average Salesperson #1 Salesperson #2
6/1/2009 JONES M9156 $10.00 $10.00 $20.00 $20.00 $170.08 SEBAS CHASE
6/1/2009 SMITH T9205 $200.00 $10.00 $210.00 $230.00 $170.08 CHASE BARB
6/2/2009 BAUER S9100 $100.00 $10.00 $110.00 $340.00 $170.08 BARB

So how is the Average per Salesperson calculated in the first place?

I'm not concerned about the averages. There is another page that shows total
sales for the month at a glance and I need to be able to show "half deals"
(sales split between salesperson 1 and 2)

I'm now confused. Are you asking how physically, do you split a two-salesman
sale between the two salesmen?

Yes so my final results on the recap page show as an example:

BARB 1 1/2 NEW 2 USED TOTAL 3 1/2

I'm sorry I just don't see what the problem is. Set up a separate worksheet
for shared sales and allocate them there, then just link the front sheet to
that sheet....

The problem is figuring out how to show 1/2 deals in the final count on the
other sheet.

Well I don't think you are going to be able to easily. Why not produce an
appendix showing the split sales? Why is it so important? (I used to be a
Management Accountant for several UK corporations...

Have you looked in your other email for my most recent email to you?

Don,
I got 1 email from you and replied back, haven't gotten a reply to that one
yet, maybe filtered out (work email)

Gordon,
Not that important just the anal retentiveness in me wanting to properly
track salespeople performance on a monthly basis and not having to do it by
hand.

Then just use a separate sheet for sales people and summarize it on the
front schedule...

I sent a solution not using macros but using helper columns instead.
If you send me a good email I will resend. Or, look where I sent it.

Why such complication? KISS!!!! If the OP needs to do this, then just have
a subsidiary sheet with the details on it and summarize it on the front
sheet.
As a recently-retired Management Accountant I can guarantee you that
some-one is going to say "give me an analysis of split sales". Why do the
work twice?
