    Post Time to empty spread sheet

    Hi Guys,

    A little help if possible,

    I am trying to create a spread sheet that displays something like a water tank 0% to 100%, But you enter the time and tank level. then a second Time and tank level. which calculates the Difference in percentage and time. Then suggests how quickly it is dropping. ie 5% per hour. And finally tells me when it would be empty. If someone is able to suggest this, that would be great. I spent a heap of time on similar sheets, but un able to work out how to do %'s and time together.

    Thanks Heaps, Drew

    I suspect you may be looking for a visual display for this, but I think this captures the calculation part you are asking about?

    Re: Time to empty spread sheet

    Excellent, Thank you. That is Close to what I am looking for.

    I like the idea of time to full. But would rather that be a Modifiable number, ie, could put [80%] and it would suggest how long it would take to get there.



    Time 1 : 12:00AM
    Tank Lvl: 85%

    Time 2 : 14:58 PM
    Tank LvL: 42%

    Time to Empty
    *********

    Time To Full
    *********

    % Change Per hour per Hour
    **************

    Time to reach [ ] %
    **************

    Something like that.

    Thanks Again.

    Hello drurus and Welcome to Excel Forum.
    The following proposed solution is built on PFDave's formula.
    To get 'time to empty' the formula is: =IF(C3>C6,C5+(C5-C2)/(C6-C3)*-C6,"") *If level2 > level1 this cell will be blank
    To get 'time to full' the formula is: =IF(C3<C6,C5+(C5-C2)/(C6-C3)*(1-C6),"") *If level2 < level1 this cell will be blank
    To get '% change per hr.' the formula is: =(C6-C3)/((C5-C2)*24)
    To get 'time to reach []%' the formula is:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
