    NEW Returning 'Number' of 'Days' or 'Weeks' or 'Months' with # and text / number of employ

    Hi

    Further to my previous query regarding returning 'Number' of 'Hrs', 'Days', 'Weeks' etc. I am looking to divide the actual hours by 'Persons', so in theory a 16hr job becomes '2 Days' if there is '1 Person' inserted in column J or '1 Days' if there is '2 Persons'.

    The formula I'm looking to amend is in cells J7 and J8. My intentions are to adjust this manually per job, as each job will differ substantially.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Because you have mixed text with numerical values, this can only be accomplished as rossg has indicated or adding another column that has the days, months, etc. You cannot divide the current formula by a number (the number of persons) because of the mixed values.

    how can i get it to returns Hrs at the top of the vLookup table....so if you have a job thanks goes for 8hrs, which is 1 day, but you increase the number of persons to 2 so it should take 4hrs.....any ideas?
