This should be really simple. I have a birth rate, which become Juveniles (column b) for a year, then there is a death rate applied, and they move into been aged to 2 year, this repeats for 8 years, when they become 9 and then again when they become 10 (different death rates applied to nine year olds and 10 year olds). The idea is to see how the population grows.

My challenge is I can't get the calculation in my head, I feel it should be simple but I am getting myself into a tizz over it.

I have not been told, so I assume say a 10% dealth rate applies to the whole of the population in the age group.

any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated

Can you use the xl2bb add in (link below) in order to post a sample of your data and the rates you want to apply to each column? This will be a big help in helping the forum to help you. Please.

I am not a statistician. I do not have statistical knowledge of how to apply the functions you are using.
I hope others can provide some insight.
