Understanding Commission Reports: A Comprehensive Guide to Earnings Tracking.

A commission report is a document that details the commissions earned by an individual or organization for facilitating transactions, often including information such as commission rates, transaction values, and payment dates.

How do I calculate the commission report?

One of the most effective ways to calculate Commission reports is to use the SUMPRODUCT formula in Sourcetable. This formula enables you to calculate the total payout using a tiered rate table. To use this formula, type =SUMPRODUCT(range*rate) into the cell where you wish to display the result. Replace range with the range of cells that contain the values you wish to multiply, and replace rate with the cells that contain the rate you wish to use.
