Hi,

I currently use this formula which tells me a % of how much work someone does to the rest of his shift.
=SUMPRODUCT(($P$6:$P$24)*($B$6:$B$24="KEVIN MENHAM"))/SUMPRODUCT(($P$6:$P$24)*($A$6:$A$24="A"))*100

If I had hours worked in column "W", Does anyone know how I could work this into the formula so it would give the correct % for hours worked?

For background info

Column P is entry total
Column B is the names of workers
Column a is which shift they work on

i hope this is not to vague

Thanks
Stu
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
P is the total number of entries on paperwork
W is the amount of hours worked.

What we are trying to find out is for eg

Richard did 1000 entries and worked 200 hrs
John did 500 entries but only worked 100 hrs.

So what we are trying to get at is although Richard did 1000 entries, he has worked double the time of John.

Does this make sense?

So we are trying to get a calculation for entries made against time worked so it should show that they have both still done 50% work load each?

Does this help?

Hey Stu, not ignoring this -- trying to get my head around how you would want to report this... I guess saying they did 50% each is difficult to illustrate -- the only thing that is "even" really is the avg of entries per hour ? On that basis I guess in my own mind I'd be going down that route -- ie working out if a given staff member is working above or below the hourly average... but I guess you need to weight that for possible economies of scale in terms of time...

Could you put up a few scearios -- might help us get to grips with best approach.

Sorry I've not been more use...

Apologies for layout but was trying to make it easier to follow... I was thinking something like this (but again may not help you so apologies if not)

This would return (when formatted as %) the % (entries/hours) above/below a given shift average for a given person in that shift (obviously would be good to set Shift & Name to be cell references so the results can be adjusted quickly for different combinations)

=(
SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$20="A"),--($B$2:$B$20="Mr X"),--($P$2:$P$20))
/
SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$20="A"),--($B$2:$B$20="Mr X"),--($W$2:$W$20))
)
/
(
SUMIF($A$2:$A$20,"A",$P$2:$P$20)
/
SUMIF($A$2:$A$20,"A",$W$2:$W$20)
)
-1
