Hello, this is my first time asking a question so bare with me.

What I'm looking to do is have a dynamic chart based on the numbers in my excel sheet.

BACKGROUND:
So, in my job I have to estimate how much a project will cost based on the total estimated hours to complete the project. From that number I derive how many technicians I will need, and how many days those technicians will work.

In other words, if the total time for a project is 8 hours, I'll need one technician for one day. If the total time is 16 hours, I can either have one technician work for 2 days, or 2 technician for one day. Etc.

So what I'm looking to do is have a chart that basically says: Day 1, 2 techs (grouped close together), time it takes to complete the job for that day (let's say 10 hours). Day 2, 2 techs (grouped close together), time to completion. Etc.

Bonus points if the chart can change color once a tech reaches more than 8 hours total for the day (i.e. overtime)

I don't know if what I'm asking is even possible. Looking for insight.

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Can you make a dummy chart of what it would look like? Even a sketch wil do. Because I don't fully understand
