    Hey All, I got a forecasting project dropped on me at work and need some help.

    So right now my work uses a threshold function to try to pinpoint problem areas for staffing. The problem is that there is no logic behind it and we have different classifications for our field workers. So, say we have 50 technicians on our roster and we only have 20 people available for a given day, the forecast says that we are going to have staffing issues but it doesn't know to just pull some guys from another grouping. We would actually go up to our supervisors pool and take a few of those guys to make up the difference. Is there any way to get that logic into the threshold formula? Right now we just manually try to spot check everything. Sorry if I'm not being very clear. It's just because I don't even know what to try to do to make it work
    PM's=10
    Supervisors=40 BUT 40 Sup+ 10 PM=50 Sup available if needed
    Technicians=50 BUT 50 Tech+ 40 Sup+ 10 PM = 100 Tech available if needed

    Hi, I'm taking a look at your spreadsheet and I'm not clear at where you want a formula, is it just adding those max(each workweek) together?
    Do you want to show supplemental separate from designated? If so how would you like that?

    Maybe just a little clarification about what changes on the sheet and I'd be able to help you better.

    For example, on 10/5 you have 11 project managers? but I thought you only have 10 employed and only 10 can do the job? so what is it that everything represents?
