I am try to create a formula in excel. thats Looks at a line of cells i.e.
a1, a2, a3, a4, a5 and find out if the cell contains "V" for vacation day
in
the cell. Then I need it to output 7, 5 for hours worked and it needs to
add
the row of cells that contain "A" and give me the total number of hour.
