Scheduling Technicians Based On Distance To Customer
Apr 22, 2006
I need to dispatch 10 technicians across the US starting each Monday. They go to 10 different customers for the whole week. I know the distance between each technician and each customer. What I would like to do is assign each technician to a customer so that the total distance traveled for all the technicians is minimized. I know that if it was only 3 techs and 3 customers (as an example), I could build a table of all the possible combinations (3 factorial or 6 permutations), determine the distance for each permutation and select the minimum. I'm not sure that doing this method with 10 techs is feasible as the number of permutations is 10 factorial or over 3 million possibilities. Anyone see a workable solution?
I've include a spreadsheet with customers, technicians and the distances between them!

I have a Point A to Point B with the distance.
1. user can set a adjustable distance in cell J1. e.g 2000
2. User select Point A.
3. User select Point B
4. Then list out all the Point C where distance diff between Point A and Point B all within 2000.

I'm still having trouble with this formula. I have a sheet, sample attached, that has a list of transactions, with customer name, date, cash-in & cash-out information that is listed down a set of rows. I'll have a tab for each year & the information will be seperated by months.
My other sheet is a monthly report that I will be printing. I have a seperate "section" for each customer & I want excel to fill the information from that customer based on the month. I tried using a index match formula & a vlookup formula in a helper column, but it doesn't bring out the info that I want.

We've got a bug in our finance system where it can't handle any transactions that have sales but no related commission. The BI team provides a CSV file separately with this information and the sales team has to manually input it. I know how to create a template that can be uploaded into the system but don't know how to pull the data into the template from the CSV file.
I've created the attached example and what i'd like is a drop down box in cell B1 (template tab) listing all the customer codes in column B on the data tab and then based on your selection all the related transaction lines pull into columns A to F (starting on row 4).

I am trying to do a vlookup to 1 sheet based on customer number and return price. If no customer number than I want to do a vlookup based on dunnage number to return the price. This is what I have for a formula but it never returns a value if one is found in the first lookup.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C4,'Dunnage Exception'!A:C,3,FALSE),IFERROR(VLOOKUP('Raw Data'!D4,'Dunnage Master'!A:C,3,FALSE),"0"))

I have a list of Spid numbers and a service category identifying if it is a Water Spid or a Waste spid.
The Spid is split into 2 parts. The Core is the identifier and the Category states if it is a Water or a Waste spid.
If the 1st digit in the Category is a 1 = Water.
If the 1st digit in the Category is a 2 = Waste.
There may only be a water spid or a property may have a water and waste spid.
What I want to do is have the information on 1 row rather than 2 rows
I have data in this format
SPID

Service Category
100000000151

I have columns with the dates on the top, and staff listed on the rows to the left of the speadsheet. I must have 4 H's (indicating a base location), and 4 F's (indicating another base) in the column below the date. I want to have a cell, just above the date which will highlight red if there are any less than 4 H's and 4 F's. If there are 4 H's and 4 F's in the column (indicating full staffing levels), then I want the same cell to turn green, indicating that the day is OK. The red highlight would be a quick scan for supervisors to look at and see if we are deficient on staffing, and will prompt us to look for people who can be the missing H or F.

I have a table like the one below:
Day Night
2/26/2007DC
2/27/2007AB
2/28/2007AB
3/1/2007 CD
3/2/2007 CD
3/3/2007 BA
3/4/2007 BA
Each letter represents a 12 hour shift (ex. D team has 36 hours for the week). If I need coverage on 2/27/07 on the day shift, I need to find a team that is working 36 hours for that week and was not scheduled to work the shift before or the shift after. (Example, on 2/27/07 A team needs coverage. The only teams working 36 hours are D and C. C team work the previous shift. So the code would input D in a cell).

Is there a way to set the ontime application to run even when excel is turned off? I'd like to be able to refresh a data table every morning at 6:30, even if excel is not on. Ideally, if even my computer isn't on. The code below works, but only if the sheet is open to the exact worksheet.
Option Explicit
Public RunWhen As Double
Public Const cRunWhat = "The_Sub"
Sub StartTimer()
RunWhen = TimeValue("09:54")
Application.OnTime earliesttime:=RunWhen, procedure:=cRunWhat, _
schedule:=True
End Sub
Sub The_Sub()
'my code here
StartTimer

How do I ensure that this macro runs every 5 minutes automatically from the first time I hit "Ctr-Q". Currently, it only runs once and then stops.
Here's my macro for your view:

I have a scheduling problem that I'm trying to get my head around. Im sure that some kind person can give me some ideas on how to get this started. It may be extremely easy, but I just cant get it off the ground. Basically I have 15 doctors that work for me - 9 full time (38hrs/week) and 6 part time (15+hrs/week) in a general practice. We are open 7 days a week
Open Close
Monday8:3019:00
Tuesday8:3019:00
Wed8:3019:00
Thur8:3021:00
Fri8:3019:00
Sat9:0018:00
Sun9:0018:00
Doctors have 5 days on and then 2 days off.
The below is the proposed daily schedule and the doctor requirements. % of booked patients for the times and % of random patients for the times are included as well as average waiting times.

There are 3 types of patient visits

58% of patients choose their doctor and 42% come in off the street and will take the first available doctor.
and finally - doctors cant work for more than 4 hours without a break. brek details are below
HoursBreak
<4hrs0
4 - 5hrs10min
5 - 8hrs2*10 mins - 45min lunch
8+2 * 10min 2*45min lunch
I need to create a timetable for the doctors which optimises their time based on the above details. I also need to design a data sheet for reception which will maximise the number of patients seen. Finally I need to calculate what the maximum number of patients the centre can see on an average day say monday.

I'm trying to come up with an Employee Shift Scheduling template. I have 6 employees total with 3 different shifts (day, swing, graveyard). I would like to not do a rotating shift. I'm trying to figure out if a 5X8 shift is better or 4X10 and I would like to come up with a weekly schedule where I can see what shift everyone is working and were I have double coverage.

I have 20 staff members that I need to schedule in half day shifts (AM & PM) across three different locations for the month of July.
I want to make sure there is no overlap/duplication for any one staff in a time slot. Nor do I want any one staff member to work an AM and PM shift in the same day.
Ideally, I would also like to avoid back-to-back shifts (e.g., not allow PM on Monday to be scheduled for an AM on Tuesday).
Lastly, I would like to have the number of shifts be be as equitably distributed across all of the staff members as well.
Any way that I can do this in Excel?

I have a macro that I want to run on an hourly basis, say at 9am, 10am, etc whenever the workbook is open. This needs to be definable as I have several users that will be conducting the same activity throughout the day. In other words I want the macro to run on the hour for user 1, quarter past the hour for user 2, half past for user 3 and quarter to for user 4. Each user does have their own unique macro to run so it should (hopefully) just mean introducing a line of code to each, defining the time to run.

I have an excel spreadsheet that contains customer data exported from Quickbooks. In that file there is a column called CType (Column G) which contains the scheduling cycle for that customer. There are eleven different possible schedules, including 15xYr, 1xMo, 2xMo, EOM (every other month), EOW (every other week), EOW-S / 1xMo-W (every other week between 5/1 and 10/31 and once a month during the rest of the year), EOW-Th (every other week but must be on a Thursday), ETW (every third week), On Call, W, Q.
Although the number of records changes daily, on average there are about 950 rows of data in the spreadsheet.
I need to set up an array (?) for the values in column G starting with G2 through the last non-blank row (all records will have data in column G), and calculate the next scheduled service date based on the schedule type shown in column G and the last service date which will appear in column M of that row. The last thing I need to consider is whether there is a value in Column N, which would represent a hard-entered ‘Next Scheduled Service Date’. If I find a date in that column it needs to over-ride the calculated value. My assumption to this point is that I should use a new column T to hold the value of the calculated schedule date. There are a few other details, but rather than confuse this whole thing further I’ll stop there.
What I’m struggling with is the most efficient means of running this macro. I’ve been looking at many, many threads over the past few weeks, reading
VBA Programming for Dummies (which I apparently am), and reviewing other resources.

I am wanting to have a schedule posted as 8:00am to 5:00pm to show up in a format that shows the interval every thirty minutes with either a 1 or a zero so that I can calculate each intervals total staffing. Also if a break or lunch is entered I would like it to show a zero or .5 in the field (.5 being for 15 mins and 0 for anything taking the full 30 mins).

So I'm having a problem trying to make this scheduling sheet.. What I did was row a would be the employee list then b,c,d and so on are mon-sun Originally in b1 I would put like 9am-5pm and c1 8-4 and so on and in row i I put the total and added a sum function but somehow it wasn't able to calculate. So then I redid the whole thing this time in row b1 i put 9am and c1 5pm and so on and again I put the total and added the function and it still came out wrong..

I'm trying to create an Employee Scheduler. I want my employees (1 technician per row for a total of 10 rows) in the 1st column then the monthly calendar to the right (1 cell/day). That is what you'll see when you open the worksheet. Then, down below I set up my Data Area where I input my project, start date, end date, technician (where each tech is assigned a unique number), and other data across a row of cells. This could be infinite (or at least up to the very last row).
I modified a free Project Scheduler I got from XL-EasyGantt to become my Employee Scheduler but am having some difficulties getting it to do what I want. The project Scheduler basically works by entering (on the same row) the project (or task), the start date and finish date and then the cells get automatically filled in across those dates. This allows for overlapping of tasks but I want to create an Employee Scheduler so it doesn't allow overlapping or schedule a technician to start a new project before he/she has completed the one their on.
The main function which is in each cell of the monthly calendar is as follows: =IF(OR(AND($G28>=K$4,$G28<L$4),AND($M28>=K$4,K$4>=$G28)),IF(AND($E11="x",$M28>=K$4,$M28<L$4),"x",IF($E11=".",".","..")),"")
My problem: I want to be able to look at the Main Schedule and see when each Technician is scheduled for a job (or multiple jobs) for any given month. I want the function to look in my Data Area and assign the start date and end date of a project and the corresponding technician number and fill in the date cells across from their name in the Schedule above.

I have created a sheet that shows distance between coordinates. Also working on something to put them in order of the closest point. I used a fixed point to find the nearest coordinate, but since i'm using a fixed point it doesnt go the order I want it to. I have attached the excel file I am working on.

I have two columns, zipA and zipB. There are over 7000 rows and I need to calculate the distance between zipA and zipB for each row (so the result should be over 7000 rows of distances (in miles)). I posted this in the programming board because I figured it would require some. I don't have any add-ons.

At my last job we purchased a zip code addin from spheresoft that could give you a distance between two distance ie: =ZipCodeDistance(zip1, zip2)
This worked well but I am now at a new job and wondering if there is any data out there that could help me build my own sheet. I just need California
I have both zip codes now just need the distance, I could sit down, drink a ton of coffee and enter zip codes all night into Mapquest but am hoping for a better way.

I need a formula, from which I need to drag (if needed) and to fill with numbers, by following principles:
- when the left cell contain the zero, it needs to find on the same column if there exists another zero, or another one and count them, let's say if find three zeros untill find number one, return 3.
- when find a number 1, after another 1, has to return a zero.
- the formula need to initialise from the top of the column, only finds the first number 1.
I have a relevant example down bellow. I used to count them visually and sometimes errors sneak into my spreadsheets.

I have a distance grid with place names down column A and along Row 1 with distances in the middle. I then have a place name in cell A1 on sheet2 and a distance in cell B1 on sheet2. Ideally I want cell C1 on sheet2 to lookup the place in cell A1 on Row1 of the grid on sheet1 and then find the distance in B2 in that column before displaying the correspoding value from Column A on sheet2. I've tried various Match and Index functions with no success.
