Hello everybody.
<o:p></o:p>
I’m a bit out of my depth with this one!
<o:p></o:p>
Effectively what I am trying to do is calculate the time commitment of each employee based on a number of criteria. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Each employee is allocated to a number of jobs – the time commitment for each of these jobs is provided in FTE (i.e. if the time required for a job is 2 FTE, this could indicate one employee for two days, or two employees for one day each). <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The Criteria are provided in brackets. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>

The answer I am trying to calculate has been provided in the final column. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Taking Employee 1 as an example to explain the logic: Employee 1 is not assigned to Job 1, Job 2, Job 4 or Job 6. Employee 1 is assigned to Job 3 but Criteria 1 is not met so we do not include Job 3 in the calculation. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Employee 1 is assigned to Job 5 and both criteria are met. This Job takes 1.5 FTE’s and we can see that three employees are assigned to this Job – therefore 1.5 /3 = 0.5 which is the answer.

Thanks for your help

Hi!

Try the Array Formula (use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to enter the formula) below in H6 and copy down:

=SUM(IF($B6:$G6="Primary",IF($B$2:$G$2="High",IF($B$3:$G$3="Yes",$B$4:$G$4/
MMULT({1,1,1,1,1},--($B$6:$G$10="Primary"))))))

Or

=SUM(IF($B6:$G6="Primary",IF($B$2:$G$2="High",IF($B$3:$G$3="Yes",$B$4:$G$4/
MMULT(TRANSPOSE(ROW(A$6:A$10)/ROW(A$6:A$10)),--($B$6:$G$10="Primary"))))))

Wow, thank you Markmzz!

Both of these formula worked perfectly (I will use the second given the size of the data) - you've literally saved me at least a weeks worth of work here!

If you don't mind, please can you explain the second half of the formula (MMULT onwards) as I'm struggling to follow the logic you have applied.

Hi!

You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.

Now, I'll try to explain the second part of the formula. In my opinion, the best way to do that is look at the formula step by step.

Lets go:

Hi!

Just one more detail:

In the case of Employee 2, we have only the first and fifth Jobs and

the penultimate step of the whole formula in this case is SUM({2,5\FALSE\FALSE\FALSE\0,5\FALSE}).

So when we use the function SUM, we get the value 3.
