Linda, B is a manually entered number of the number of minutes a person works in a shift. That number is usually 450 minutes. However, it could be anywhere from 60 minutes to 600 or so minutes. I'd like the formula in E to show the number of adjusted calls (based on the number entered in D plus C divided by 32). For example, a person works 450 minutes(B), has 64 minutes downtime(C) , and completed 8 calls (D). The number in E (by formula) would be 10. If the person only worked 260 minutes (B), had 64 minutes downtime, and completed 8 calls, the number appearing in E would still be 10. However, I'd like it to adjust to the number of adjusted calls he or she would have if he or she had worked 450 minutes. I think it would have to represent: 260 minutes is to 10 as 450 minutes is to X. I hope that explains it a little better. I may have to call! :) Chuck H.

Your formula refers to D and C, but not B ... You say you need E to show what it would have been if 450 was in B, but your formula doesn't refer to B at all. So, how does what is in B effect what is in E? Linda F.

I'm not sure how to describe what I need, so let me try this: A. B C D E Name minutes worked downtime actual calls made adjusted # of calls A is self explanatory B contains the number of minutes worked - usually 450, but it can vary greatly C contains a manually entered number of minutes a person spent on miscellaneous items. For each 32 minutes, he/she gets credit for one adjusted call. D contains a manually entered number of actual calls made by that person during the minutes he/she worked E contains a formula that presently adds the number in D to C divided by 32 Here's my problem. If B contains a number other than 450, I want E to represent the number of adjusted calls he/she would have had if he/she had actually worked 450 minutes. In other works, I'm looking for a formula like a ratio, for example, if B contained 248 minutes worked and D contained 8 calls, then I need the number if E to be what it would have been if B had contained 450 minutes worked. Gosh, I hope this makes sense, as I find it hard to explain and even harder to come ;up with a formula. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. If anyone needs more information or needs the actual present spreadsheet, I will be happy to provide it.
