Commission Calculator - September 2014 (VBA/Excel) The company that this program was developed for had a very unique, totally custom commission structure. It did not conform at all to the point of sale system, and there was no way to program the point of sale system with such unique rules. This structure was maintained due to sales motivation. The commission structure considered tiers, thresholds, minimums, time clock data, and spifs independently to arrive at a final number. The information required was available from many different external sources. A program was created to pull relevant data from 12 different Excel workbooks to fill in 34 data points for 100 employees at 46 locations. I believe that each individual point of data could be collected in 10 seconds, making this take a minimum of 8 hours to complete. This program was able to complete the same task in 5 minutes. This was an example commission report that was generated. Some data had to be blurred to protect propriety. This program worked by opening or exporting each of 12 individual Excel workbooks. Once these were open in the background the functions of the program could be used to either generate this report for the sales staff or store managers (they were on different commission structures).

Commission Calculator - September 2014 (VBA/Excel) The company that this program was developed for had a very unique, totally custom commission structure. It did

not conform at all to the point of sale system, and there was no way to program the point of sale system with such

unique rules. This structure was maintained due to sales motivation. The commission structure considered tiers,

thresholds, minimums, time clock data, and spifs independently to arrive at a final number. The information

required was available from many different external sources. A program was created to pull relevant data from 12

different Excel workbooks to fill in 34 data points for 100 employees at 46 locations. I believe that each individual

point of data could be collected in 10 seconds, making this take a minimum of 8 hours to complete. This program

was able to complete the same task in 5 minutes.

This was an example commission report that was generated. Some data had to be blurred to protect propriety. This program

worked by opening or exporting each of 12 individual Excel workbooks. Once these were open in the background the functions

of the program could be used to either generate this report for the sales staff or store managers (they were on different

commission structures).
