Hi,
supposing temp of deg is not included and your data for a given day is
in cells A1 to A24, follwoing wll give the sum of daily positive temps
:
=sumif(a1:a24,"0",a1:a24)
You ca then multiply this outcome with the meltfactor and area

Hi
For a project I am doing university I need to produce a basic ice melt
model. I have got hourly temperature data for a whole year from a
certain location and area data from a glacier I am looking at, which
has been broken down to several elevation bands each containing the
area of ice present in that band.
Basically I need the model first to calculate the sum of postive
degrees for each day of the year (so this would add together all the
temperature data above 0 for each day). This would leave me with 365
postive degree day factors (DDF).

Each of these DDF's then need to be multiplied by a Meltfactor (say
0.06) and then multiplied by the area of a selceted elevation band
(DDF x 0.06) x Area

I am still a bit of a novice when it comes to all things excel so Im
struggling a bit with this one. Its been suggested that I should use
VBA but to be honest i dont know where to start. Any useful tips etc
would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Ryan
