So, probably something like:

 

Measure =
VAR __sales = MAX([# Sales])
VAR __commission =
  SWITCH(TRUE(),
    __sales<=6,LOOKUPVALUE('Commissions'[$/Sale],'Commissions'[#Sales],"0-6"),
    __sales<=9,LOOKUPVALUE('Commissions'[$/Sale],'Commissions'[#Sales],"7-9"),
    __sales<=14,LOOKUPVALUE('Commissions'[$/Sale],'Commissions'[#Sales],"10-14"),
    __sales<=19,LOOKUPVALUE('Commissions'[$/Sale],'Commissions'[#Sales],"15-19"),
    LOOKUPVALUE('Commissions'[$/Sale],'Commissions'[#Sales],"20+")
)
VAR __eligible = MAX([Validation 1])
RETURN
IF([Validation 1]<>"Eligible for Payout",0,__sales * __commission)

Thanks Greg,

 

I am receiving an error message on the If statement for [Validation 1] column. I forgot to mention the commission values are in a separate table titled "FL Commission Rates" and the query table holding the data is in a table titled "FL Agents Commission". There's no unique identifier to create a relationship between these two tables. Any suggestions on how to fix the error message?

 

Also, should the [# Sales] column be the column from the "FL Agents Commission" table which is actually a measure to get the count of comissions per agent or should I use the [# Sales] column from the "FL Commission Rates" which is the chronological number from 0-20 in a column? I'm a little confused on this part.
