them 1:30 to load 1023 cases. |

One way:
=4*1.5/1023 === 0.005865103 mh/case In article , bkk wrote: how would i get the man hours to do a load. I have 4 workers and it took them 1:30 to load 1023 cases. |

Assuming
#workers in A2: 4, time taken in B2: 1:30 (time format), total cases in C2: 1023, Place In D2: =A2*(B2*24) In E2: =D2/C2 Format D2 and E2 as number to taste D2 returns the total manhours (= #workers x time taken*) *with the time in B2 converted to decimal time via the "x 24" bit E2 returns the required manhours per case (= total manhours / total cases) You could select D2:E2 and simply copy down to return corresponding results for other sets of inputs in A3:C3.

If you type or copied Max's formulas to D2 and E2 and it remains a formula in
the cell, could be your cell was formatted as text. Re-format the cell to General then hit F2 and ENTER.

I changed the format and that worked but my man hours per case wasn't but
0.01 and I don't think that could be right. I have 4 workers it took 9:00 hours to load 5700 cases.

OK, what answer do *you* think Excel's arithmetic should give when it is
dividing 36 man hours by 5700? 0.006316 if you want a few more decimal places, or about 23 seconds per case. -- David Biddulph "bkk" wrote in message ...
