Register with Bradford Score

**mattdrake** · 06-12-2009, 01:53 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to create a register, where it will calculate the Bradford Score (episodesOfSick^2*numberOfDays).

This would be easy to do if all the cells of working days were next to each other. However, as shown on the attached file i need rows separating weeks and months. So if someone's sickness is carried from one week to the next the spreadsheet counts it as two episodes of sick and not one.

Is there a solution?

Thanks in advance

Matt

The easy answer is to get rid of the in-between rows -- it's bad spreadsheet design. You can tally hours by week in a separate column.

OK,

but if someone is sick for a day either side of a holiday then this would still get counted as two periods rather than one.

after removing totals between days then if a person is sick mon and friday put an s in saturday and sunday that will block them into groups
to calculate days sick (not counting sat and sun use)
=SUMPRODUCT(--(C11:C42<>"sat"),--(C11:C42<>"sun"),--(E11:E42="s"))
to count blocks you can utilise offset
like this
=SUMPRODUCT(--(OFFSET(C12:C42,-1,0)<>"s"),--(C12:C42="s"))
see attached
also i added the last day of previous month at top this is to stop blocks being counted twice from month to month
