Hi everyone,

I’m having issues with my online shop, I need some help calculating the total commission for contributors based on existing sales data.

Here’s the situation:

Data Structure (basics - there are more items in each):

  • Line Items: Contains fields for Product, Total, and Order Completed (yes/no).
  • Contributors: Contains a list of Product Contributions.
  • Product Contributions: Contains fields for Product, Contributor, and Commission %.

Goal: I want to show the total commission a contributor has made for all the products they have contributed to, based on the sales that have already been completed.

Challenges:

  1. I want to avoid creating a new data type if possible, but I’m open to it if necessary.
  2. If I create a new data type to store commission amounts, I need a way to add the existing sales data to this new data type so that I can calculate and display the total commission for each contributor.

Current Implementation: I am able to show the total of a contributor’s sales for a specific product within a repeating group, but not for all the products they contributed to. Here is how I’m showing the total for a specific product:

Total Commission earned for this product for the Period Selected:
Search for Order Line Items:each item’s total:sum * Parent group’s Product Contributions’s Commission %:formatted as R1,028.58

how can I Calculate the total commission for each contributor based on existing sales data?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
