Mr. McDougal has identified two ways that he would like the analysis of each week presented. Each part is detailed below. Part 1: Mr. McDougal would like a weekly recap of sales by salesman that displays information regarding weekly sales, the salesman's sales quota, the percent of the quota met, number of hours worked, base pay earned, commission due and the salesman's gross pay for the week under review. He put together a sample of how he would like the report to look - use this layout-or your best judgement to produce a well laid out and easy to understand report.

You will need to use some text functions to display the concatenated data. Also- note the sales column ("E") in the raw data is a text (string) value that will need to be converted to a number. - Using Excel's Functions for Data Analysis The other formulas required to produce this detail report will need to pull information from a table of hourly wages and quotas that Mr. McDougal has provided to you, Each employee is assigned a "Rank" within the sales force. Macy's has 5 different ranks. The employee's base pay and commission rate is dependent upon the rank assignment. For example, a rank of AM indicates an Assistant Manager who is paid $23.50 per hour, is expected to produce $200.00 of sales for each hour that he/she works and is paid a commission on his sales, if he/she meets the hourly sales quota for the week. A table of values is displayed below: Hourly Wages & Quotas Sales Hrly Sales Commission Rank Sales Title Hourly Wage Quota Rate AM Assistant Manager $ 23.50 $ 200.00 3.0% PT1 Sales Assistant $ 10.50 $ 100.00 1.0% PT2 Sales Partner S 11.75 $ 125.00 1.5% S1 Sales Associate $ 13.50 $ 150.00 2.0% S2 Sales Consultant $ 15.00 $ 175.00 2.5% . Target Sales is calculated by multiplying the hours worked times the hourly sales quota of the designated Sales Rank. % of Target is calculated by dividing Sales by Target Sales Base Pay is calculated by multiplying the hours worked times the hourly wage. Commission is calculated for employees whose Sales exceeds their Target Sales - by multiplying the weekly sales amount times the commission rate that corresponds to the employee's Sales . Gross Pay is the sum of Base pay and Commission The report should be sorted to make it easy to identify the "best" salesperson - defined by the % of target column.
