Help with vacation time accrual

[cfar2001]

Hello there,

I'm trying to set up a spreadsheet to manage vacation time accrual and usage. Each employee receives a max # of hrs per yr, based on their hire date. They are also allowed to carry over any unused time from the previous year. I need this spreadsheet to add the time earned to any carryover, subtract time used and keep a running total. My problem with what I have thus far, is how do I get the formula to take into account for any carryover and still keep the max hrs earned for the year correct, meaning if they can only have 48 hrs for the year, how do I get it to stop adding hrs at the 48 hrs cumulative.

here is what I have been working on: (the formula at the bottom is what I have for the cumulative hrs)


Thanks so much for any advice/help!!

Welcome to the Board!

Your formula looks like it didn't post properly (as that is not a valid formula - it would return errors).
Perhaps you are having this issue: https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/about-board/680917-formulas-not-appearing-completely-read.html

Regardless, you should be able to just wrap your working formula up in a MIN function to get what you want, i.e.
=MIN(your formula, 48)
