    Calculation or estimating the total number of employee hours I have available



    Hello, I am builiding a Labor breakdown by employee that will show me how many hours I can afford to pay them based on the given labor dollars that I have on hand currently.

    Here are the two areas where I am drawing a blank:

    What formulas do I use that will divide up my labor bank by each employee's hourly rate.

    Although I show a monthly breakdown I would like a formula to determine how far out my money will take me.

    Here is a sample spreadsheet that I've attached.

    You're asking Excel to do things best suited for the human brain, in my opinion. But Excel can help along the way. It's simple to add check cells for each month as you add in your hours.

    I guess Excel COULD tell you how many hours to give each employee, but only after you develop a full chart denoting each employee "type" and what percentage of hours goes to each type pool, etc.

    Yeah - That's basically what I told my boss. Who thought I should be doing this w/in Access. Uh - NO! Access is going to house all the labor and contract data, but I'm going to have to do dumps to Excel to give him what he's wanting here.

    Thanks for your assistance, at least the SUMPRODUCT formula will help me some. I've never really used that one.

    here is another aproach

    It assumes everyone will try to work 173 hours / month as default

    as you enter the hours it will adjust, and tell you how many months you can pay everyone at 173 hours

    if there is not enough left for 173 hours it will set everyon to a lower level for the rest of the time

    entering actual hours will adjust all other rows!
