If Then logic not enough

[Guest]

My task is to track commissions for a small agency. I have created a
workbook that includes a worksheet for each provider which lists the
customer, amount paid, whether or not it is a renewal and which agent is due
the commission. I then have worksheets for each agent where I have copied
the rows that apply to the agent from each of the provider sheets. Using if,
then logic I get a total of first year and a total of renewal commissions.
For some of our more productive agents the formula can't be big enough. At
my beginner level I was proud of what I had created, but looking at the
groups I know I can do better. What do I need to study? arrays macros loops
I might be in over my head. Anybody have a suggestion?

Look at the DSUM function, it might do what you want.

Sounds like some sort of conditional SUM, such as SUMIF.

Example,

=SUMIF(A:A,"Bill Dean,"C:C)

calculates the total amount in C where the value in A is Bill Dean.

Other than that, a bit more detail might help.

Over your head!!!....not at all!
Give an example of your IF formula and somebody will lead you in the
right direction.

some of the funtions:
VLOOKUP
HLOOKUP
