Comparing required and available capacity with usage - need formula help

Kimber

Member
I need to create a sheet/table showing capacity for machines on first and second shifts and I need to compare usage to available capacity in both whole numbers and percentages. We will always fill first shift to capacity (100%) before producing on second shift. I need formulas for:

Capacity used on 1st shift: production units required up to shift capacity
Capacity used on 2nd shift: remaining production units required left over from 1st (over 100%) if needed, otherwise, 0.
% of Capacity used on 1st shift: % of needed / total capacity up to 100%
% of Capacity used on 2nd shift: remaining % left over from 1st (over 100%) if needed, otherwise, 0.

I have data for forecast total (required) and capacities for both shifts.

Thank you.
 
Simple table below showing results, but I need formulas. Additionally, 1st shift capacity used and % capacity used cannot exceed machine capacity 1st shift and 100%.


Production Units Required 150
Machine capacity - 1st shift 100
Machine capacity - 2nd shift 100
Capacity used - 1st shift 100
Capacity used - 2nd shift 50
% Capacity used - 1st shift 100%
% Capacity used - 2nd shift 50%
Additional capacity required 0

I hope this information is clear.
Thank you.
 
How's this for a start?
Luke,
That is great, but my table is transposed -- your columns are my rows. Would you mind editing for me? I'm in a time crunch (as I assume most folks are) and I think this will work perfectly if transposed. Thank you so much for your prompt response.
 
Easy enough.

I've been assigned an addition to the formula. Since we don't schedule the machine for more than 80% of capacity, that needs to be included in the formula as well. Again, this is time-sensitive. I appreciate so much having such a great resource of amazing Excel gurus. :)
 
We'll modify the formulas then in B4 and B5 to only use 80% of the given value.
