In the attached version of your file, the formula in L2, copied across to N2, is:

In the attached file, the formula in G2, copied across to I2, is:
=F2+C2/24+
1/24*((MOD(F2,1)<12/24)*(MOD(F2+C2/24,1)>12/24)*(MOD(F2+C2/24,1)<15.5/24))+
16.5/24*((MOD(F2,1)<12/24)*(MOD(F2+C2/24,1)>15.5/24))+
15.5/24*((MOD(F2,1)>12/24)*(MOD(F2+C2/24,1)>15.5/24))+
2*((MOD(F2+C2/24,1)>15.5/24)*(WEEKDAY(F2+C2/24)>5))
I hope that the idea of the foregoing formula will suit your needs.
You can see how this solution was unsuccessful in the attached document.
(Its calculating out of working hours and on weekends).

This formula works great thank you very much!
If I wanted to apply this to say two or three workers which values should i be switching out in the provided formula if possible? I've tried swapping out all of the 7.5 values in the formula for 15 but it doesn't seem to be working. I assume I may be approaching this the wrong way?Example:
1 worker = 7.5 working hours/day
2 workers = 15 working hours/day
3 workers = 22.5 working hours/dayAttempted conversion to 2 workers example:

INT(K2)+CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(K2),5,4,3,2,1,0,6)+15.5/24)I assume I'm doing this the wrong way.
Are there specific areas within this formula that i may be able to substitute values to calculate these days with 2 or even 3 workers instead of one?
The formula could work great, but has complications when using it in the document i provided.
I assume that is why you decided to create a second document and use percentages instead of formulas to obtain number values. (Which defeats the purpose of this formula if its not usable in the provided documents format).
Its works fine if the PREP(T), WELD (T), or CLEAN(T) value is provided as a single number.
But DOES NOT work if a formula is needed to obtain this number (which it is in every case).
It will continue to calculate outside working ours and into weekends which defeats the purpose entirely.
Also for the COMPLETED date portion I was requesting a formula to add +1 day to the CLEAN(T) value (with the time value always landing at 7:00 am) if possible.
Is anyone able to help me make this work?
