    Help Please - Need Formula To Figure How Many 100% Files to Reach 95% Goal

    Thx for looking. Managers currently receive a report showing how many Passes / Fails their team received. They would now like to see a box that calculates how many passes are needed to reach the 95% goal.

    Example:
    2 Passes = Pass% of 66.67%
    1 Fail = Fail% of 33.33%
    How many more Passes are needed to achieve a 95% Pass% goal?

    I've attached the spreadsheet. If you could assist I would greatly appreciate it. Thx

    Or simply

    =MAX(0,19*E5-C5)

    Re: Help Please - Need Formula To Figure How Many 100% Files to Reach 95% Goal

    Thx guys for the fast replies:

    @rcm - pasting the code into H5 only results in it appearing to put the same values as column G already have.
    Example row 5 has 4 passes and 0 fails, meaning it needs no more passes to achieve a 95% Pass percentage. Unfortunately the formula in H5 returns a value of 4, when it should return a value of 0.

    @Crooza - Thx worked as intended.
