In a datasheet, you can select a data filter and create line-by-line calculations. Create datasheets at the top level or within a plan or folder. To create a datasheet within a specific location, click the three dots on the left panel and select **New Datasheet**.

1. From a commission plan in Designer, click Payout Amount on the payout rule.
2. Review and select the corresponding datasheet or worksheet and the payout amount calculation.
