This is my first post; I hope someone can help. I have a labor forecasting tool with a simplified version shown below. The time can span more than a year and there can be 20-30 employees. Each month has values for Forecast Hours, Actual Hours (entered when timecards are submitted) and a flag (EOM) to indicate when the Actual Hours have been entered. Actual Hours could be 0 even though there were forecasted hours. How can I calculate (hopefully no VBA) the Forecast Hour column for each employee? The Actual hours are simply a sum of the actual hours. The "formula" for the Total Forecast Hours is highlighted yellow.
I can handle Excel basics but this is above me. Thank you for your help.
@Peter_SSs@Pike36 There is a subtle difference.(Error ? )
Rightly or wrongly, assumed that the entry of Actual Hours might be progressive and not necessarily coincide with the 'Y"confirmation of EOM?
Therefore, my formula updates Total Actual as and when but, prioritises forecast hours over actual, until EOM is confirmed by 'Y'
See below for March. N4 = 110. With Peter's formula it would be 130
