Hi all,
I'm trying to come up with a way to calculate the bradford factors of each employee using a formula. The guy who worked on this before me devised a way to do it, but it comprises of 3 separate formulas and makes things overly complicated when adding a new employee or removing an old one. I was wondering if there is a way to calculate this in one simple array formula, rather than 3 space consuming ones. Apologies for my lack of technical terminology as well, I'm still trying to get my head around nested IF statements and so this problem is probably a little beyond my scope.
(For those who don't know, bradford factors are a method of measuring the number of sickness occurrences and total absences of an employee. This is done by counting each individual absence, and the number of blocks of absences (where more than one day is taken off at a time) and then multiplying the total number of individual absences by the square of the occurrences.)
Please see the example spreadsheet below for the current system and the basic function i need this spreadsheet to have.
Thanks in advance,
Taylor
