Calculate Total FTE for each manager in a hierarchy

Apologies if this is a duplicate, but I couldn't find this exact question asked elsewhere;

I have a worksheet which shows standard organisational hierarchy, i.e. a column of employees and a column with their unique IDs, plus a column which shows their managers' ID (each manager ID is also an employee).

I also have a column which shows for each employee their employment percentage or FTE (full time equivalent) - i.e. full time = 100%

What I'd like to do is display the total sum of FTE's that each managers has within their control, both directly reporting to them, and indirectly, through people who report to them, who also manage people. There's no max to the number of potential layers.

I can get to a count of employees per manager through a UDF which sets up a recursive count, but something similar which will carry out a sum function is eluding me.

I guess another UDF would probably be the best option, but if there's a non-VBA version that works better, I'd be keen to hear it.

I think the limitless depth is the issue from a standard formula perspective.
Unless you could use a helper cell to give you an ultimate manager, or an array, as you'd want to know at each level, I think you're going to struggle doing it "in sheet".

Hmmm. I think you may be right regarding standard formula.

I think the answer must be a user defined function, similar to one I found to get the total headcount, but I can't make my stupid brain think of it!

Hi steve,
i believe you have a data as shown below
Employee Name</SPAN>Employee Id</SPAN>Manager's Name</SPAN>Manager's ID</SPAN>FTE %</SPAN>
Mark</SPAN>11</SPAN>Harry</SPAN>21</SPAN>90%</SPAN>
Tom</SPAN>12</SPAN>Morgan</SPAN>22</SPAN>100%</SPAN>
Jim</SPAN>13</SPAN>Morgan</SPAN>22</SPAN>80%</SPAN>
David</SPAN>14</SPAN>Harry</SPAN>21</SPAN>40%</SPAN>
Vik</SPAN>15</SPAN>Harry</SPAN>21</SPAN>50%</SPAN>

<TBODY>
</TBODY><COLGROUP><COL><COL><COL><COL><COL></COLGROUP>


And i belive you are looking for number of employees working under Mr. Harry and Mr. Morgan, right ?

A simple pivot table can give you these details and others.
Create a pivot table with Manager's name as Row Field and Employee Id/Name as data field and set it to Count of Employee id/Name.

It will give you that there are 3 Employees working under Mr. Harry and 2 Employees working under Mr. Morgan.

Hope i have understood your question correctly.
Let me know if i didn't.

Thanks,
vik

Hi Vik

That's exactly how my data would be structured, but not quite what I'm looking for as a solution. In your example above, let's assume that there's a line added in which Mr Morgan also reports to Mr Harry. What I'm looking for is a method to calculate the total sum of the FTE reporting to each manager. So the answer for Mr Harry would be the total sum of the FTE all his direct reports plus the total sum of FTE of people who report to Mr Morgan.

This is a simplified way of explaining it, as in reality, some of those people who report to Mr Morgan, may also be supervisors themselves, so the complexity is in effectively recreating an org hierarchy on the fly and then counting or summing down from each level to the bottom.

Hi oldbrewer. Thanks for answering, however I'm not totally sure I understand your solution. Are you suggesting using helper tables to pull out and summarise the direct reports for each supervisor?

OK, this is an example of the output I'm after. The Headcount Managed is calculated using a UDF which uses a recursive count, but I can't get my head around how to calculate the FTE Managed.
