    Calculate how much work employees can get done in a certain time

    I apologize for the vauge title, I'm really not sure how to briefly describe what I'm looking for. Here's my situation:

    I have an excel sheet with userform on it where an employee can specify what line they are working on, what they are making on that line, and how much they have for materials available - they can specify up to 10 different items they can make. It then figures out how long it should take them to make this based on everything else they choose and how many square feet of fabric they have for it. This all works fine and dandy.

    Here's my problem and I'm really not sure how to tackle this so I don't have code started for this yet. Based on what they select, I need to figure out how much they can get done from the time they start their shift until they go on break, and another value of how much they can finish after break until the end of their shift. The times and duration are static for breaks.

    For example, if they spec out four different items, let's say it gives them a projected total running time of 10 hours and 32 minutes. There is only 3 hours and 45 minutes until their first break so based on that they clearly aren't going to get through it all. I need to find out how many square feet of fabric they are going to finish and then take the remainder and figure out how much they can get through in the next 3 hours and 25 minutes until the end of their shift. In some cases, they might not spec out enough work to get them through the end of their shift.

    Oh, and the two values I need to find need to be displayed back on the worksheet (the boxes outlined on the sample) that they will then print off.

    I have attached a sample workbook to try and make more sense of it. Any help would be so greatly appreciated!!
