Calculating available hotel rooms

[Declamatory]

Good morning,

I have a download table. For each date the right hand column represents the number of rooms available and the left hand number represents take up.

On a separate tab I need to be able to show how many rooms are still has left on each date for each room type.

Can anybody help me please.

Thanks

this works with the ' removed from the data table (e.g. Find and Replace All)

Hi there. Set up your separate tab with the same layout as the source(Room Types in first column (column A), dates in first row(row 1). Then put this formula in cell B2 and drag across and down:

=-MID(LEFT(Sheet1!B2,FIND("/",Sheet1!B2)-1),2,2)+MID(Sheet1!B2,FIND("/",Sheet1!B2)+1,LEN(Sheet1!B2)-FIND("/",Sheet1!B2)-1)

NB This will only work if your data is exactly as you show, it assumes a single character at the beginning and end of each cell (the single quotes), and a single slash separating the 2 values.

That's perfect.

Thank you for your time.

 

[AlanY]

just curious, which solution you'd ended up with?

 

[Declamatory]

Hi Alan,

The second solution meant that I didn't have to do the find and replace. Both worked but the second solution means I can just paste the download into sheet 1.

Thanks
