I need help to create a complicated formula.
HELP! I have been working on this formula for 2 days. Is there any help out
there!? I have a huge database of employees names, dates and hours charged to possibly 1-5 different account. NAME date reg sick annual category Name 1 Oct 1 40 2 8 340 Name 1 Oct 1 8 0 0 320 Name 1 Dec 1 40 0 0 320 I need to calculate the total of hours for a given date by category (the example above is 50 hrs for category 340 and 8 hours for category 320 for Oct 1); Then, I need to find out what % each category is of the total hours (the example above is Category 340 is 86% and Category 320 is 14%); Then I need to find out 86% of €śreg€ť, €śsick€ť and €śannual€ť and bill that to the 340 category And 14% of €śreg€ť, €śsick€ť and €śannual€ť and bill that to the 320 category. So that I have a true spread of hours against each category €“ there is 10 possible categories. I have tried SUMIFs and continue to get FALSE AND NUM errors. Is there anyone out there that can help me. |

Consider using a Pivot Table. It can calculate sums by various catagories.

Gary's Student, Thank you for your quick response. I do not know how to use
Pivot Tables and because of the appropriate % of load for the various hours (reg, sick, annual, etc.) that must be spread appropriately to the different categories, I don't know how the pivot table would solve that. Perhaps I could send you a sample of the spreadsheet? Possible? Thanks, g in Albuquerque "Gary''s Student" wrote: Consider using a Pivot Table. It can calculate sums by various catagories.
