Hi all,

In the attachment above, I've made a simple logistics model.


  • Column C shows the daily shipments on each date
  • The shipment capacity is 20000 (cell C6)
  • The shipments follow FIFO i.e.
    • For the 45k shipments of Dec 2nd, 20k will get shipped on 2nd, another 20k on 3rd and 5k on 4th
    • The 30k shipments of Dec 3rd will then start getting shipped on 4th
  • Once the items are shipped, they get delivered as Row 4 i.e. 1% of total shipped items are delivered same day, 4% on the shipped day + 1, 10% on the shipped day + 2 etc.
  • Cell I9 onwards shows when the items will be delivered
    • For example - of the 45k items (from 2nd Dec),
      • 200 will be delivered on 2nd Dec (20k got shipped and 1% are delivered same day)
      • 1000 will be delivered on 3rd Dec (4% of 20k which got shipped on 2nd + 1% of 20k that got shipped on 3rd(
      • and so on...

I'm struggling with an elegant formula for Cell I9 onwards - right now its a mess of hard coded values etc.

Any help would be appreciated on how I can approach this - another waterfall model etc.?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
