    Capacity dilemma

    I have 10 customer that utilise all my capacity. My problem is constructing a model where I reduce the capacity and identify which customers to remove? I have attached a sample file.
    Thanks in advance

    Re: Capacity dilemma

    Is there a simple formula to do this or do I need VBA?

    Hi Aland.

    I saw your thread from the day before Yesterday but i am not able to understand...

    Which is the result that you expect and why?

    If capasity redused to 135? To 100? To 50?

    What is your second attachment?
    Regards

    The second attachment is not mine? If I reduce the capacity from 140 to 120, I have to remove capacity of 20 from existing customers. I want to remove the 20 customers with the lowest profit margin.
    Thanks in advance

    Re: Capacity dilemma

    Thanks very much for your effort. If I reduce the capacity by 1, it removes cust 5 & cust 8 which reduces the capacity by 10? It should only remove capacity of 1.
    Thanks in advance

    It's reduce one Cust eatch time, but reduce 2 if they have the same Margin.

    In this case both Cust, have a Margin of 7%.

    Re: Capacity dilemma

    You could just use conditional formatting to highlight the customers that represent cumulative capacity (col F) beyond the allocated capcity (G2).
