Solver & Scenario: Make A Comparison Of Two Different Staff To Customer Ratios
May 22, 2006
This is what I’ve been trying to do. There are 3 different work schedules for each employee. Each employee gets 2 days off in a row. At the top of the employee schedule worksheet, there are 3 schedules. The zeroes represents days off for that schedule and the 1’s represents days worked. Ok, Cells c7 thru c17 display total staff needed for that day Cells c8 thru c18 display average number of customer on a particular day Cells c9- 19 display number of needed based on a staff to customer ratio of 1 employee per 80 customers B11 displays that ratio
I need to make a comparison of two different staff to customer ratios. My goal is to find lowest total payroll while adequately staffing the store. In B13 I want to enter the daily salary amount for 1 employee at $10 hr/8 hrs per day
In A16 enter total payroll amount
Total staff B7 times salary in B13
Use solver to find minimum payroll amount
Target cell is total payroll found in A16
Target cell must be = to minimum value................

I have a cell, D5, which is the sum of three other cells, A5 B5 and C5. (all currently empty). Cells A1 through C4 are filled with various numbers.
What I've been trying to do is use solver to say: Make D5 equal 200, do it by manipulating only A5 B5 and C5, and make it subject to the constraint that A5 must equal a value selected from A1:A4, and B5 must equal a value from B1:B4, and C5 ...etc. I have deliberately set it up so that there is only one solution.
I was doing fine until trying to create the constraints. How can I make a constraint that says "this cell" must equal "one of the following cells"? And if I can't do that, is there an alternate method of achieving the same result?

I am fairly new to spreadsheet and need to develop a simple spreadsheet that will present a actual vs budget % for certain clients on a weekly basis.
It is currently taking me forever to remap my formula each week when i have populated my actual vs budget data.
On Sheet 1 it has my data and on Sheet 2 is where my ratios are presented with graphs.
On Sheet 2, the ratio is presented in one cell with a formula that calculates based on two cells adjacent to each other on Sheet 1.
I am currently running my report horizontally across the spreadsheet.
The problem is that when i add in another week running horizontally across my spread, the formula can not be dragged across as it does not jump by two cells.
I have attached a example : example.xlsx‎

Need constructing a formula and im not too sure which function to use.
Im also not sure if its even possible or im missing a required column to help make it possible.
(arrival Time)---(c1)--(c2)--(served by)---(time served)---(exit time)
-------A---------B-----C--------D----------E----------------F
1----9.00am-----0-----0--------1----------2mins-----------9.02am
2----9.01am-----1-----0--------2----------15mins----------9.16am
3----9.05am-----0-----1--------1----------2mins-----------9.07am
4----9.06am-----1-----1--------?----------xmins-----------x.xxam
Column A = Arrival time
Column B = Number of customers in Counter #1 as of arrival time
Column C = Number of customers in Counter #2 as of arrival time
Column D = to be Served By Counter:
Column E = Mins being served before exiting the counter/que
Column F = exit time
rows = customers entering a que.............

Creating a Scenario Matrix. I am using Excel XP. Simplifying the problem, I have a formula;
Cell A1 has X,
Cell A2 has Y
Cell A3 has Z
X * Y = Z
I want to find the answers when X is between “1” and “5” and Y is between “1” and “5”. I want this to be in a matrix so I want the answers:
1 2 3 4 5
1
2
3
4
5
I cannot use Scenario Manager; it would record the answers on the pivot table or summary which is what I want BUT I would have to type every combination (1,1), (1,2) etc!

I am calculating ratios to show as 1:0 or 3:2 etc using this formula: =IFERROR(CONCATENATE((K2/GCD(K2,N2)),":",((N2/GCD(K2,N2)))),"Nil")... I have a lot of columns that have zeros in them and the formula i am using doesn't seem to work for those...
Example
A B
3 6 should equal: 1:2 works OK
2 0 should equal: 2:0 my current result: 1:0
3 0 should equal: 3:0 my current result: 1:0
0 1 should equal: 0:1 works OK
0 0 should equal: Nil works OK
4 1 should equal: 4:1 works OK
Anything with a zero in the first column comes up as 1:0

I have a combo box that is used very simply to select a column from sheet and copy that whole column down to where text ends into a specific column in another sheet. I.e whatever column is selected ends up in column B of this other sheet. At the moment I've been using If functions for each case but there must be a more efficient way of doing this; here is just a sample of my
If textseries1.Text = "Fund01" Then
With Sheets("data")
Range("C1:C" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
End With
Sheets("calculations").Range("B1").PasteSpecial
End If
If textseries1.Text = "Fund02" Then
With Sheets("data")
Range("D1:D" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
End With
Sheets("calculations").Range("B1").PasteSpecial
End If
If textseries1.Text = "Fund03" Then
With Sheets("data")
Range("E1:E" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
End With
Sheets("calculations").Range("B1").PasteSpecial
End If
There are about 75 columns in total but thought it would be a little repetitive to put it all up here!

The attached worksheet is for giving competitors a score of 1 if they meet certain criteria and 0 if they don’t. Need to write a formula that warns me if the three highlighted ratios are not meet. The last Ratio (15) is on a sliding scale so must be at least 1.

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
Core
Category
Service Category
100000000151

I have to use use the solver to calculate something (a mean-variance framework).
I am using the solver to minimize a cartain cell (variance) by making two cells equal through (expected return) by varying 10 cells( weights of assets), but I have to repeat this for 500+ times (for different expected returns).
Someone told me that I could best use some sort of loop through VBA. But I don't have a clue how that works.

Is there a way I can count the number of different people in a column in any one day. The same persons name may appear more than once on the same day. My table is as follows:
Column A has my list of dates running from A2 to A500
Column E has my list of workers running from A2 to A500
My table of results is in a different workbook but basically what I need is this:
Nov 1 - Count how many people worked on 1st November
Nov 2 - As above
Nov 3 - As Above
Nov 4 - As Above
Nov 5 - As Above
etc

I need counting the number of staff within a time period. Unfortunately the schedule structure does not allow application of the simple solutions I've found regarding this which results in this being more complicated. My example is attached. My start and end time are in the same cell. I have used the Left() and Right() functions to manipulate the times. I am unable to count the number of occurrences of between the start/stop times of all my employees in the array. The formula also needs to take into account a manually entered time on the actual day.
Basically:
00:00 if F9:F42 = time is TRUE and I9:I42 = "" then count occurrences of 00:00 in scheduled times F9:F42 + if F9:F42 = time is FALSE, then if I9:I42 = time is TRUE then count occurrences of 00:00 in scheduled times I9:I42
01:00
02:00

Even when I think I've gotten close the midnight time crossover keeps throwing off.

My boss wants me to take the holiday info from SAGE for 80 employees and create a record on excel. He wants to know what holidays each employee has taken and is due to take throughout the year. As each employee works a different amount of hours and a different shift pattern, SAGE records their holiday entitlement in hours rather than days. I have attached an example of one employees details and if come up with an excel document containing similar information for 80 individuals - all starting on different dates and all having a different amount of holiday entitlement. He wants to be able to look at each employees record for the year and see not only holiday data but sick days too. I don't know where to start with this - I've thought about creating a workbook with 80 pages and create a 12 month calendar for each individual with days off marked on it?

I have a table on a sheet called Contracted Staff. Table has staff names down the side and along the top is training needed.
Training H & S. fire. General training
Lucy. 5/4/12
Jeff. 5/4/12
Michael.
Dawn. 5/4/12
I would like on a training summary sheet to tell me who hasn't completed the training. I know I can use auto filter to select blanks to get who hasn't done it. However I want to print every training and list on the same sheet.

I want to use solver program. But when solver "changes cells" i want it to trigger my pivot tables in the workbook. So i added the code to my worksheet:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
ThisWorkbook.RefreshAll
End Sub
So when a change occurs, all my pivot tables will get refreshed and my data will change. Is solver able to trigger this event while solving an optimization problem?

I am trying to work out a % score for a telephone operator. To explain further, I would monitor a call that an agent takes. The agent starts at 100%. There are 20 points to be scored and they are scored like this
1 - Yes
0 - No
left blank - n/a
B3 counts the number of entries in the column
B2 counts the number of 1's in the column
B28 = B2/B3
Seems to work fine until the agent makes a fail which would enter a 0 in the column. Somewhere I think I need to take account that there are 20 possible fails or passes?

Currently I'm working on functionality in my staff holiday spreadsheet and I've come up with this amazing idea for a calendar overview for month by month.Now the sheets I currently have is summary and jan to dec.
I plan on adding the sheets Jan (Cal) to Dec (Cal) now this is when my idea gets nifty - The calendar view will import the information from the month table and will show it on the calendar.
For example X has 1 holiday in July for the 20th - this will show up on the calendar as "x on holiday", I'm still working with spreadsheets so I'm not sure if excel is powerful enough to do this - but is this actually possible?

I have a table that will have a drop down list in all of the cells in column F that are in the table. (I think I have the drop down list figured out
I want to create a button that makes it so every time a new row is needed for new stock entries etc, the user just has to press the button and it should just create a new row within the table. Simples .
Is this achievable? And if it is, what is the best way to go about it?
Table width is from Column C - Column J.

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 sheet set up to record free pour tests for my bar team.
Column A has the date.
Alternating columns from B (B..D..F.. etc) hold a drop down with the staff names
Alternating columns from C (C..E..G.. etc) hold a drop down with either pass or fail as the result.
What I need to do is count the number of times a particular staff name appears, but more importantly how many times they pass or fail.
I can easily count the names, but how do I count if they have pass or failed?

I'm fairly new to excel and trying to create a simple spreadsheet to provide a log of staff allocation. I've created a first a sheet displaying a table with a week of rota. The first column lists where the staff are placed, the first row the date and inbetween the staff member covering that date. There are 5 further sheets, one for each member of staff with a simple table - first column is date, second is allocation.
Back on the first sheet below the timetable is a further grid showing on the first column staff names, and below each date a formula =VLOOKUP( B$3,David!$A:$Z,2,FALSE) pulls information from the 5 sheets displying whether a memeber of staff is on leave or there allocation on that particular day.
The problem i'm having is trying to get the 5 simple staff sheet to pull data from the Rota ie. I need say B3 to look at the date in A3, find the same date on the Rota sheet, look for the relevent staff name below it (if present), and display the allocation from the first column on the same row as the staff member.
I've tried a combination of Vlookup with Match and Index with Match but nothing seem to work.
