[mso] Re: Excel Formula

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!  
:)

  Sorry. You lost me.  What are you currently doing with the number in B if it
  IS 450?  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?

  Well, here I am with need of a formula that - hopefully - is at least a
  little harder than the last one I asked!  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.
