It has been about 20 years since I had to make a spreadsheet for work.
I am so rusty! :confused:
The director wants to calculate productivity of our case workers, in order to award bonuses.

Caseworkers can bill 5hrs per 8 hr day.
Sometimes they will bill under 5. We multiply the amounts under 5 by .625

So far...
I have calculated how many workable days in a month(-observed holidays)
-grouped those into quarters(dec-feb, etc)
-added expected hrs per month (workable days x5)
-added expected hrs per quarter (I added those below the chart)
-made a column that multiplies amounts under 5 x.625
-made a column that calculates productivity by percent

Now I just need to figure out how to create formulas that will:
-multiply amounts under 5 x.625 but also calculate hours over 5 correctly because if a caseworker takes 8 hours of vacation time (PPL) I get a "false". Even with a hidden column, the math isn't working out.

I used to be so good at formulas. Now I can't wrap my head around them. :eek:
Help! ...if you can.
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Ok,

I think I know what you are going for.

Assuming PPL is the amount of hours they worked and it is in column G.

=IF(G2<5,G2*0.625,5)

This says if the value in G2 is less than 5, multiply that value by 0.625, anything else the value will be 5.

This does help. Thank you for taking the time!
However, PPL is the 'paid personal leave' (time/hours taken off per month)
THIS is my problem column because they can take more than 5 hours off. What happens if the hours are over 5 and how to calculate is tripping me up!

So what do you want the output to be? I assume 1 will be 0.625, 2 will be 1.25, etc. What do you want 5-8 to be?

Anything over 5 hours does not have to be prorated.

Here is where I have hit a road block because if a caseworker takes off 2 days that = 10 hours of PPL. Easy.
But how do I catch it if someone takes 7 hours or 13?!
My brain is tired.

Are you familiar with conditional formatting? It can flag any values that go over 5. Try a google search of it, it isn't overly complex.

I think I know what you need now...

=IF(G2<5,G2*0.625,0.625*5)
