This is an excel sheet that I had previously posted in the past and have been instructed to add more rows for sampling in the new year. I've attached an example file of different scenarios that we can experience when testing. For example, if the Depletion is <2 the result will have a < in front of it (example 1). If the Final DO is <1 the result will have a > sign in front of it (Example 2). If both rules are met, no signs are needed. If any of the result(s) do not have signs in front of them, they are automatically averaged in the bold average cell and the results with < > signs discarded. Example 3 is the usual scenarios that we encounter. Examples 1 and 2 are extreme cases. I wanted to also add that the lowest result that we can report is <2.
I wanted to double check that I have the equations correct in my average cells. I need the most help in the combined average of north and south cells (J21, J44, J67), for example in cell J21, to show an average of J7 and J17.
Also, is there an equation that we could add to, for example, J7 to show the estimated number that is closest to meeting the rules when all results are < or >? Instead of <49 in J7, the number would actually be <86 because the depletion result was closest to 2. If that isn't possible that's fine. I just wanted to explore all options.
