Hello ALL

I am trying to give my manager a true reflection of the percentage resolved vs the percentage incoming to show if we are being productive or not . Whats the best way you would do it and what formula would you use based on the scenario below.

Yesterdays Work Total: 100
Resolved Yesterday

Todays Work Total

Now based on the above there are 10 more pieces of work than yesterday

What percentage of work has been resolved and whats the percentage of work that has come in and how many.

This can then be used to compare if the percentage resolved is better than the percentage incoming however my mind has gone blank to how to get this result

Can someone be kind enough to help me

Thank You

I have not got a scooby do how to do this or if im doing it the right way but this was what I did





A1 - Volume Yesterday

B1 - 101

A2 - Volume Today
B2 - 90


<colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>
A4 - Resolved Yesterday
B4 - 74


These are my formulas

Incoming Vol - =(VolToday-VolYesterday)+ResolvedYesterday

Percentage Incoming - =((VolToday-VolYesterday)+ResolvedYesterday)/VolYesterday

Percentage Resolved - =ResolvedYesterday/VolYesterday

Now i am not sure if these formulas are right or if this is the best way to do it

I just need to show the manager that the team have actually been productive and have done more work than whats come in overnight

Hi

Thank you but i think that wont work

Say the vol yday was 100 and then today it was 140 and say I resolved 0 work - That would mean that i had an extra 40 pieces of work but the formula you gave would say that i resolved 140% which is not the case

This is what I had - hopefully you or some math guru can advise the best way and the best formula to give a better statistical analysis for resolution % vs Incoming %

A1 - Volume Yesterday

B1 - 101
A2 - Volume Today
B2 - 90

<tbody>
</tbody>

A4 - Resolved Yesterday
B4 - 74


These are my formulas

Incoming Vol - =(VolToday-VolYesterday)+ResolvedYesterday

Percentage Incoming - =((VolToday-VolYesterday)+ResolvedYesterday)/VolYesterday

Percentage Resolved - =ResolvedYesterday/VolYesterday

Incoming VolPercentage ResolvedPercentage Incoming
6373.27%62.38%

<colgroup><col span="3"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

I somehow think this is not correct for Percentage Incoming because say i had
100 yesterday and i completed 140 as I cleared 100 but we had another 40 come in through out the day and the following day the queue vol was at 110 - my current formula gives 150% for incoming and In vol gives 150. I would have though the Inc vol would have shown 110 and the Inc % as 110%.?

I am not sure what the best way is to get the right formula and best way to do it

Hi

for the work resolution, is it a case of if the work completed is more than what was in the queue yesterday, that would mean its 100% else it would be work completed/yesterdays total?

not sure how to work out the incoming and percentages or which way to go about it

Hi

i want to be able to show a percentage of work resolved vs what was outstanding the previous day

so if i had

101 outstanding yesterday
83 resolved yesterday

110 outstanding today

Based on this info

i need to see what work resolution % is and how many extra we have had come in today.

so 110 - 101 does not mean that only 9 came in as we resolved 83

i need to get the incoming amount and the % that has come in

is that still unclear?

please advise if you need further information
