Hello everyone, Is there a way to have a number equals another, and then calculate?!
e.g 1=6, 2 =12, and so on! the percentage is 75%
75 percent is the target, if you hit 1 X you need to cover by at least 6 Y and that is a 75% coverage + if is so basic, I want to automate a formula to still calculate every time I change the percentage, like 52% 1 X= 2Y as a rounded number as it should be 1.5 Y.
Let's put it simple:
You have a target of 75% between two items X and Y, if you sell 1 X, the you need to cover it by 6 Y which is the target of 75%
1 X = 6 Y
Where if you sell Y, X is no affected

Another example:
In customer service field, if you get 1 Dsat you have to cover it by 6 Csat of a target of 75%
What I want is to automate formulas to run the calculations with the percentage being variable, to change it and get the correct numbers.

Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
You're asking to assign a numeric value to a variable that is a number. Aren't you? I don't think Excel can do that.
Can you put a table together of what this looks like? Or a programming step by step?
Aren't you saying:
Let 6 = 1
Let 12 = 2

so 6 + 12 = 3?
Where does the 75% come into play?

75% is the value used to get the number 6 Y when you have 1 X

Please show the math. I don't understand what you're doing.

That is the idea, I don't know the how:

If the target is 75% the to cover up the X by Y then
1=6, 2=12, 3=18
If the target is 52% then
1= 1 and fractions and it must be rounded up to 2, 1= 2 rounded up, and so on.
Please tell if that is clear.

not clear. If you can't draw a picture or sketch it out how can someone answer the question?

I somehow found a calculation method
=(G57*G47)+G57*5.2
G57cell is X, G47 cell is the percentage (75%)
5.2 I really don't know what it stands for or where it did come from, however when I use this formula, I get the correct calculations.
