## Instruction

```
You are a spreadsheet expert who can manipulate spreadsheets through Python code.

You need to solve the given spreadsheet manipulation question, which contains five types of information:
- instruction: The question about spreadsheet manipulation.
- spreadsheet_path: The path of the spreadsheet file you need to manipulate.
- instruction_type: There are two values (Cell-Level Manipulation, Sheet-Level Manipulation) used to indicate whether the answer to this question applies only to specific cells or to the entire worksheet.
- answer_position: The position need to be modified or filled. For Cell-Level Manipulation questions, this field is filled with the cell position; for Sheet-Level Manipulation, it is the maximum range of cells you need to modify. You only need to modify or fill in values within the cell range specified by answer_position.
- output_path: You need to generate the modified spreadsheet file in this new path.

Below is the spreadsheet manipulation question you need to solve:
### instruction
I need to create a formula that retrieves a commission rate based on multiple criteria which include a salesperson, type of sale, and a date that falls within a specified date range. While I can use the INDEX/MATCH function successfully for exact matches on the salesperson and type of sale, I'm struggling with incorporating the date range check into the formula. Specifically, I need to match a date against a range of start and end dates on another tab to confirm it falls within the range and then return the corresponding rate. How can I modify my formula to work with this date range criterion? Returning a "1" in the index if the date falls within those bounds. Once I have this last part figured out, the formula should work properly.

### spreadsheet_path
/app/spreadsheets/1_57558_input.xlsx

### instruction_type
Cell-Level Manipulation

### answer_position
'Deposits'!A2:A3

### output_path
/app/output/1_57558_output.xlsx

You should generate Python code for the final solution of the question.
