When I use to work at the Roundabout Theatre Company, we used Excel to calculate people’s commissions. Since I worked in the Sales Department, my staff’s salary was based on a hourly rate + commission. With Excel I could easily plug in the hours everyone worked, and then sales they made for the week. Excel would then compute and calculate their total salary for the week in seconds. Then we would submit it to the Business Department electronically and everyone would get paid. If I had to do this by hand, I think I would of shot myself.

Hi Michael,
Yes, I think I would too, all that data entry does not sound fun at all. I think Excel is a great program and allows for accuracy and efficiency. You plug in the data, use formulas to calculate and there it its, mistakes can be made but are easily fixed!
