Could you show an example of data based on which we will work?
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:44
Column c is the students names?
User 01/08/2018 - 09:46
yes
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:47
Okay, so you need to know how many days they should visit in order to have 80%?
User 01/08/2018 - 09:47
yes
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:47
In total or extra days they should visit?
User 01/08/2018 - 09:48
please explain formulas
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:48
For example, sonu right now visited 1 day out of 4
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:48
Do you need to know how many days he should visit in total to have 80%?
User 01/08/2018 - 09:48
ok
User 01/08/2018 - 09:48
yes
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:49
Okay, I will make a solution for you
User 01/08/2018 - 09:49
please explain what i do?
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:50
You just have to multiply 80% by the total days (which is sum of P and A)
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:50
So in order to have at least 80% of presence, the student should visit at least 4 days (do you want me to add the round up?)
User 01/08/2018 - 09:50
but I2 and j2 are blank
User 01/08/2018 - 09:51
yes
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:51
what does it mean if they are blank?
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:52
You can explain me where I can take the total number of days and I will change the formula based on it
User 01/08/2018 - 09:52
i give me answer only
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:53
At this point I count the total number of days from total of A or P
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:53
Does it solve your problem?
User 01/08/2018 - 09:54
no
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:55
Could you explain what is wrong?
User 01/08/2018 - 09:55
what is your answer
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:55
the answer is 4, since it is impossible to visit 3.2 days, it is rounded up
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:57
if you add extra days (i and J), the result is changed
User 01/08/2018 - 09:57
In excel sheets, if the percentages of students are less than 75% then what formula can be determined from how many days will be for 80% parsection
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 09:58
