    Calculating Vessel Utilization in Budget Projections

    I am trying to calculate Vessel Utilization which in itself is not posing any problems but what is causing me problems is the fact that I am trying to do multiple calculations. I am trying to determine the number of days worked, Idle days, Repair Days in the same spreadsheet. I am trying to calculate the # of worked days based upon me changing the % of utilization but also to take into account a manual entry for Repair days and Shipyard Days.

    The attached spreadsheet shows what I am trying to accomplish and only the areas in yellow are editable cells, the rest should be calculated with a formula.

    Can someone point me in the right direction.

    Thanks
    Ray

    I would use real dates in row 1...1/1/14, 2/1/14 etc
    Then in B2, copied across...
    =DAY(EDATE(B1,1)-1)

    It looks like you pretty much have the rest of it sorted out?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: Calculating Vessel Utilization in Budget Projections

    Your suggestion works basically the same is what I was doing. This all works great when doing a straight calculations on say 80% of days worked out of a 31 day month. Where the problem comes in is when I add days in repair and/or days in shipyard instead of reducing the number of idle days it will reduce the number of days and it keeps the idle days just as they were which is not the correct way. Hope this helps to clarify my problem.

    Thanks

    Maybe this approach?

    Add a helper row after Days and use this, copied across,,,
    B3=B2-B6-B7
    Then base all calcs off that...
    B4=(B3*B10)
    B5=B3-B4

    You can then hide that helper row so it doesnt show. This is taking "repairs/shipyard" days from Days, and then useing that for further calcs
