Example: Create a Lookup Table for Enterprise Award Percentages Based on GPA

This example illustrates how to create an advanced lookup table to store enterprise award percentages based on GPA.
Alma Mater University awards the Enterprise Award to students who are registered for 13 or more units, with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or above. The university awards students with higher cumulative GPAs higher percentages of the unit-based amounts.
You're preparing to create a step-based calculation for the enterprise award amounts. You want to create a lookup table with these GPA-based percentages:
Cumulative GPA
Percentage
Greater than 3.7
70% of the overtime unit amount.
Greater than or equal to 3.2 and less than 3.7
30% of the overtime unit amount.
Greater than or equal to 3.0 and less than 3.2
10% of the overtime unit amount.
