Don't know what formula to use...

[CherryxDarling]

I'm creating a spreadsheet that basically tells someone how many bathrooms, toilets, drinking fountains etc. are needed per occupant load. I have different ratios for male/female, and what kind of building it is. So that being said I need a formula for these ratios:

Male: 1 per 75 for the first 1,500 and 1 per 120 for the remainder exceeding 1,500

Female: 1 per 40 for the first 1,520 and 1 per 60 for the remainder exceeding 1,520

I want to make it so that when I input a # into cell E19 for example, it will tell me how many bathrooms are needed according to this ratio. However, whatever # is inputed into E19 needs to be divided in half, half of it for males, and half for females.

I know it's complicated and I'm having trouble explaining it all as simply as I can, but if someone can give it a shot I would greatly appreciate it.

Just playing with possible alternative ways and this one works so thought might as well post it.
