Alright, this is a reminder that our policy is 1 question per session so for this session we'll be resolving this particular question.

Does your data really have a lot of blank spaces in between?
User
03/11/2017 - 09:44
yes. DNP = Did not proceed.
Excelchat Expert
03/11/2017 - 09:45
Okay, what do we do with the data do not have dates in them?
Excelchat Expert
03/11/2017 - 09:45
The data you've provided isn't really ideal for creating a report so I need to clarify these things.

We get paid commission when a sale completes. The date indicates that it has completed. If it has no date then cold we call it In Pipeline or TBC?
Excelchat Expert

You will have to tag those as TBC. I can tag the ones you've placed here for now but moving forward, you will have to do so.
Excelchat Expert

How do we calculate Totals sales?
Excelchat Expert
03/11/2017 - 09:49
Provider Commision + Client Fee?
User
03/11/2017 - 09:50
pls ignore client fee
Excelchat Expert
03/11/2017 - 09:51
Okay, this may take a while as your data isn't really ideal for creating a report.
Excelchat Expert
03/11/2017 - 09:51
An example would be your values aren't really numbers since they have the "£ " built in.
User
