Greetings!
I am seeking assistance in building an EXCEL file that will tell its user how many hours of a certain task must be completed per day to achieve a much higher total number of hours over the course of six months.
The US Department of Labor (DOL) has been sponsoring Apprenticeship Certifications to the US Navy for a long time. In the program a Sailor must complete X amount of hours in various tasks, after all hours have been documented as complete the DOL sends a Certificate of Apprenticeship Completion to the Sailor.
There are a few important rules that need to be followed when creating the formulas.
Here is an example of an apprenticeship tract:
COMPUTER OPERATOR
Total required hours (in the skills listed below): 2000
<tbody>

So in a nut shell, I want to create a file that I can type in the total hours required, the total hours in each category and have a formula tell me how I can evenly divide the hours over the course of a normal workday/week, while staying within the rules listed above.

There are a few important rules that need to be followed when creating the formulas.
- A Sailor can only claim eight (8) hours per day, ten (10) if they are deployed.
- Hours cannot be claimed on Sundays
- Hours can be claimed on Saturdays if the Sailor is deployed.
- Some Sailors receive pre-registration credit, cutting the required hours in half.
Here is an example of an apprenticeship tract:
