formula for Excel

[Linda]

We have to track our day in 15 minutes increments, some which are billiable
or non-billable. I have set up the fomula that calculates the 15 minute
increments for each billable / non-billable. There are 4 billable and 4
non-billable categories, numbered 1 through 8 and these numbers are placed in
1 column which corrresponds with each time. What I can't figure out is how
to "pull" the data from the cells in each of the categories to one cell
representing each categorie. Each day will be different with different times
for each category, so nothing remains static. Suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

=SUMPRODUCT(--($B$2:$B$200>=--"10:00:00"),--($B$2:$B$200<--"10:15:00"),--($C$2:$C$200=1),$D$2:$D$200)

where B2:b200 is the times, C2:C200 is the categories, D2200 is the
amounts.

You can put the test values in cells and check against these, better in a
table.

Below is the table that I'm using. (hope it posts this legible) The formula I
need is that everything that is a 1 in Activity, will add the those 15/min
increments up in a separate cell; everthing that is a 2, etc. Again each
month will be different.

Date Activity Begin Time End Time "15/min. Increments"

1/1/08 1 7:00 15:00 32.00
1/1/08 2 15:00 17:00 8.00
1/1/08 1 17:00 17:30 2.00
1/1/08 8 17:30 17:55 1.67
0.00
0.00
0.00

Formula for this column

=(D2-C2+(D2<C2))*24/0.25

I couldn't make your formula work.

Linda,

Would you like to expand on how your spreadsheet is laid out. I am finding
it difficult to follow what it is that you are asking for.

Linda,

If you put the activities in M1,N1,O1, etc., then in M2 add

=SUMPRODUCT(--($B$2:$B$5=M$1),($D$2:$D$5-$C$2:$C$5))*24*4

and copy across.

Your formula worked great. Exactly what I wanted it to do. Thank you so
very much.

 

[Linda]

I'm back. The formula worked great for the first 4 rows that you wrote the
formula for. But when I added new numbers (1,2, or 3 thru 8) to the activity
column and the times in the begin and end and tried to expand the array to
include the new numbers and times, I received "0:00 or ##. Any suggestions?

 

[Bob Phillips]

Linda,

Use this

=SUMPRODUCT(--(OFFSET($B$2,0,0,COUNTA($A:$A)-1,1)=M$1),(OFFSET($D$2,0,0,COUNTA($A:$A)-1,1)-OFFSET($C$2,0,0,COUNTA($A:$A)-1,1)))*24*4

You can then add more rows without changing the formula.

I tried it but it still does not work correctly. Is there anyway I can send
u a copy of the worksheet? It really is a simple spreadsheet. Maybe I'm
asking for more than Excel can be perform.

 

[Bob Phillips]

Yes sure

send it to

bob dot phillips at tiscali dot co dot uk

do the obvious with it
