So i'm making a table that has points for people and attendance Columns. I need a decay column to calculate new points based on how people attended the event. Like if attendace is 91% -100% then they will only decay 10% of their original points and 81%-90% is 20% etc. etc.
Person Points Attendace Decay
A 500 60% ?
B 200 90%
C 100 100%
D 400 100%


Thans so much you guys are always such great help!!

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Hi,

do you need perhaps something like this:

=((B1-1)*A1)+A1

B1 -> containing attendance
A1 -> containing points

Sorry, I misread you.

To establish thresholds (81-90, 91-100), use the ROUNDDOWN()-function:

=((ROUNDDOWN(B1,1)-1)*A1)+A1

Actually I think I may not have explained this correctly.

X person has 500 points they have 75% attendace.75% falls between 71-80 and therefore is 30% penalized. So I need the decay colums C1 to be 500*30%=150. Do i have to make a separate list for attendace values?


Attendace is viewed as following:

91-100=10%
81-90=20%
71-80=30%
61-70=40%

A1 =points
B1 = Percentage attended
C1=?

Hi,

In that case, use:

=((1-ROUNDDOWN(B1,1))*A1)

Only drawback is that 70% is considered to be in the 70-80-slot (30% penalty), and not in the 60-70-slot (40% penalty)

The formula in cell D2 (copied down):
=B2-(B2*LOOKUP(C2,{0.1,0.11,0.21,0.31,0.41,0.51,0.61,0.71,0.81,0.91},{1,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.4,0.3,0.2,0.1}))
