Can anyone help in this re-post?
I have tried and tried to solve the logic of Pass/Fail to applicable tolerances: The table of tolerances are Situation A Situation B <= 60 = +20 -20 +30 -20 80 = +20 -20 +30 -30 100 = +30 -30 +40 -40 =120 = +40 -40 +40 -40 I need to measure the number of results that are out of tolerance in a list (up to 1500 records). I envisage dedicating a column to fill with "0"/"1" or "TRUE"/"FALSE" or "PASS"/FAIL". I have spent many hours on this problem and am no nearer to solving the logic than when I started. Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Or can someone "see" the logic? I would be even more impressed if someone can help with how to "highlight" in Conditional formatting so the Pass/Fail can be detected at the time of data entry. This is less important than counting the "failures". Situation A is sampling and testing the product at the point of sale where confidence the sample is representative of the batch is higher than Situation B where sampling is prior to release of the product from the production facility. The range of values are stipulated at 60, 80, 100 and 120 but it is permissible to supply values below 60 and above 120 but the tolerances remain at the lower and upper levels regardless. It is easy for a persons mind to determine pass/fail but not so easy to define for a program. The real need I have is to determine the number of non-conformances as there is a permitted nuimber of "failures" per group of 10 results. Thanking any of you wonderful experts in grateful anticipation. sincerely Jeff Smith |
