Total Monthly Salary
After you have created a monthly salary, bonus, and merit formula, you can create a formula that adds all of those calculations together. This formula utilizes the IsNull block from the Functions tab which determines if there are blank values for a specific period in the calculated results from the monthly salary, bonus, and merit formulas. You can enter a 0 in the IsNull calculation to replace any blank values to make sure there is no impact to the overall calculation. For example, if a bonus calculation for a given month is $1000 and the IsNull function is used with a value of 0 for all other periods, the bonus calculation will remain at $1000. If you use a value of 1 in the IsNull calculation, then the bonus calculation for the year would be $1,011 (based on the 11 months carrying a 1 dollar value).
