    Question Fuel Burn Formula

    Fuel burn.xlsx

    Hi,

    please find the attached file


    im trying to calcultae the fuel burn for one of our Aircraft depending on how much is the block time


    so..
    hours:
    1st 3000lbs
    2nd 2900lbs
    3rd 2100lbs
    4th 2100lbs
    5th 2100lbs
    6th 2100lbs
    7th 2100lbs

    if i fly 1 hour.. .then it will be 3000 lbs fuel burning
    if i fly 1.5 hr it will be 1hr*3000 lbs + .5hr * 2900 = 4450 lbs .
    if i fly 4.7hrs it will be ... 1hr*3000lbs + 1hr*2900lbs + 1hr*2100lbs + 1hr*2100lbs +.7 hr* 2100lbs = 11570lbs of fuel burning.


    now how can i make a formula to under stand that each hour should be multiplied by each cell and sum it up in one cell ?


    thank you


    regards,
    Hani

    Re: Fuel Burn Formula

    All,

    thx for your help
    JR Dhona...thats exactly what i want . i did not understand anything from that formula . but its working lol. do u have a link on youtube or anywhere else explaining this ?

    Crooza. i like what you have done but its a bit complicated as you added extra coloumn.also , when you multiply 1.5 you multiply first hour with with first hour of fuel burn. for the .5 hr , you need to multiply it by the second hr of fuel burn not the first hour

    JACC...thank you . but the answer gave me 0 //
