I have a workbook that a user will log in various vehicle expenses.
One of the features is that it will calculate the MPG for each gas purchase if the tank is filled up. This is simple, but I also want it to calculate the MPG to including times when the user does NOT fill the tank. This is done by adding the gallons used since the last fill up thru the most recent fill up. It will divide that number by the total miles driven during this period. The data is collected via a userform, and the data is pasted to another sheet within the same workbook. Here’s a example: We’ll assume the headers Date Fillup ? Gal and OD Reading is in cells A1-D1. The last line (the 2/15/10 entry) is in cells A5-D5. Date Fillup ? Gal OD reading 1/1/2010 Y 14.25 24500 1/15/2010 N 15.25 2/1/2010 N 13.25 2/15/2010 Y 13.58 25500 Since a Y was entered on the last purchase, and it was N in the entry prior, the calculation would be (15.25+13.25+13.58) / (25500-24500) = 17.8 MPG from 1/15/10 thru the 2/15/10 fill up. What I want to happen is when a Y is recognized on the current gas purchase, it will: 1) do the simple calculation if the previous gas purchase was Y. That was the case in the 1/1/10 entry. 2) It will calculate nothing if the User indicates N in the current purchase. 3) If the user enters Y, and the previous entry was a N, then it will add the gallons used since the last fill up, and divide that number by the difference between the current OD reading, and the last reading with a Y. This was the scenario in the example above that resulted in the 17.8 MPG. I hope I laid this out clear enough, and gave enough information. If someone can help me with the coding to perform this task, I would appreciate it. As always, thanks for your help. jeff |
