• Add a new column to the Staff Salary Table to compute the Performance Incentive by using the “VLOOKUP” function in Excel to automate the search for the respective performance incentives based on the staff member’s overall sales performance for the month.
• Add two new columns to the Staff Salary Table. In the first new column, find the number of years each staff member has worked for the company based on the date he or she has joined the company. In the second new column, use the IF function in Excel to determine the long service bonus for each staff. Staff will be given a month-long service bonus of $100 if he or she has worked for the company for more than 10 years.
• Add a new column to the Staff Salary Table to compute the Gross Salary for each staff including the performance incentive and long service bonus. Gross Salary is computed by adding the basic salary, monthly performance incentives, and the long service bonus.
• Add four new columns to the Staff Salary Table for calculating the Age of Staff, Employee’s CPF and Employer’s CPF contributions, and Net Salary. The Age of Staff can be computed by using the date of birth in relation to the current date using the ‘=Today()’ function in Excel.
