Hello everyone,

I have been given a complex task. I need to calculate the training effort for multiple scenarios. For each of the scenarios, I have a duration for which the company will be absorbing the cost of training and anything additional to this duration will be transferred to the customer.

The three scenarios that I'm working with for calculating the training costs are below:
  1. Initial Ramp-up - no cost to the customer during ramp-up period (induction training), the additional cost/effort of training to be apportioned depending on the paid training weeks
  2. Ramp-up in intermediate months - there could be an addition of resources during any intervening months, this would mean that the delta from any resource addition would be treated in the same way as point 1
  3. Ramp down in intermediate months - there could be a reduction of resources during any intervening months, this would mean that any leftover paid training needs to be adjusted accordingly.
I was able to create scenario 1 using formulas, but scenarios 2 & 3 are too complicated. Would be great if someone could help me arrive at the formula. My working file is attached.
