I have created a pretty intricate spreadsheet designed to be a tool for
measuring manpower over the timeline of a project. In this project there a
specific milestones and each milestone is weighted differently (milestones
can differ from Item to item). Furthermore there are 3 Items each with 10
sub items. The tool as created now successfully calculated the hours needed
to complete the project in the given time. It is fully automated in a sense
that if you put a start and end date in with given milestones it will change
the manpower needed for that specific sub-item. I now need to make a
theoretical sheet in which the dates are calculated automatically so that the
manpower follows a specific pattern (eg. 3 people at the start, 10 at the
middle, 4 at the end of the project). Can anyone give me a foundation or an
idea to build off of to make this so? I am clueless at this point. Thanks

(i can e-mail the spreadsheet if needed, i know the question is a bit fuzzy)

Sounds interesting.....I'll take a look at home tonight if you want to send
the file, but can't promise a quick solution.
