Distribute value equally over weeks by start- and end-date - excel

I want to distribute a certain value (D4:D6) equally over the week-numbers (E3:J3) by its start- and end-date (B4:C6), as shown in the example.
A formula/vba script should do the following things:
Check which week-number the start- and end-date has
Divide the value by the amount of weeks between start- and end-date
Place the values in the matching column in the same row
The example in text format to copy:
2017 2018
Start End Value 50 51 52 1 2 3
26.12.2017 04.01.2018 20 - - 10 10 - -
12.12.2017 24.12.2017 50 25 25 - - - -
11.12.2017 10.01.2018 60 12 12 12 12 12 -
Also glad about hints / ideas how single steps could be achieved.

Proof of Concept:
place the following formula in E4 and copy down and right
=IF(WEEKNUM($C4,21)-WEEKNUM($B4,21)<0,IF(OR(E$3>=WEEKNUM($B4,21),E$3<=WEEKNUM($C4,21)),$D4/IF(WEEKNUM($C4,21)-WEEKNUM($B4,21)<0,MAX(WEEKNUM(DATE(YEAR($B4),12,{28,29,30,31}),21))-WEEKNUM($B4,21)+WEEKNUM($C4,21)+1,WEEKNUM($C4,21)-WEEKNUM($B4,21)+1),0),IF(AND(E$3>=WEEKNUM($B4,21),E$3<=WEEKNUM($C4,21)),$D4/IF(WEEKNUM($C4,21)-WEEKNUM($B4,21)<0,MAX(WEEKNUM(DATE(YEAR($B4),12,{28,29,30,31}),21))-WEEKNUM($B4,21)+WEEKNUM($C4,21)+1,WEEKNUM($C4,21)-WEEKNUM($B4,21)+1),0))
Now this is a built up formula from multiple cells that I back substitute the formulas to wind up with the monstrosity above. The break down is as follows.
STEP 1
Find the start week number. Place the following in B8.
=WEEKNUM($B4,21)
STEP 2
Find the end week number. Place the following in C8.
=WEEKNUM($C4,21)
STEP 3
Determine the maximum number of weeks in a year. Thanks to Ron Rosenfeld for this formula. Place the following in D8.
=MAX(WEEKNUM(DATE(YEAR($B4),12,{28,29,30,31}),21))
STEP 4
Determine if the week is in the same year or the following year. Place the following in E8.
=C8-B8
STEP 5
Determine the number of weeks. Place the following in F8.
=IF(E8<0,D8-B8+C8+1,C8-B8+1)
STEP 6
Average the value for each week. Place the following in G8.
=D4/F8
STEP 7
Determine if the average value belongs to a date header or the value of 0 (if you want an actual dash and not just formatting 0 as a dash then change 0 to -. Place the following formula in H8.
=IF($E8<0,IF(OR(E$3>=$B8,E$3<=$C8),$G8,0),IF(AND(E$3>=$B8,E$3<=$C8),$G8,0))
Copy the H8 formula to the right and down as required.
Caveat: Will work for a 1 year spread in work weeks. I have serious doubts that it would work over multi year start and end week.

Excel - Dividing total to a range of cells

I have a issue with my excel project. What I want to do is to divide number of working hours to cells when particular person has a working day. Right now I use QUOTIENT formula with combination with others but the problem is I'm not getting the right split of the total. So set up looks like that
Number of hours = 72
Number of Working days = 7
So I need to divide 72/7 but I need to have the result rounded to full figure (hour). So for example I need day 1 = 10h day 2=12h and day 3 to 7 each = 10h. The QUOTIENT is resulting 10h in every single day giving me result of total 70 not 72.
The problem is that the variables will change when the employee will be switched so for example the next employee will have 94 hours and 11 days. Generally its look like that that I have range of full month so from 1 to 31 and the working days are collected from "working schedule". The idea is to sum up the hours to a month normative working hours. So for example employee has 104 hours and he is working 12 days in working schedule but the monthly norm is 176 so we have 72 hours missing and those hours should be added to those days that he is working.
Example.
You can use MOD function to calculate the remainder.
so day 1 and 3 to 7 should have =quotient(72,7)
and day 2 should have =quotient(72,7)+mod(72,7)
I suppose from your question that you want the remaining hours to be added to day 2.

Excel Table of Daily hours summarized by week number for a user

I'm having a hard time getting my head around what I think is a simple enough problem.
I have an Excel table of hours by day for each user i.e.:
Date1, Date1+1, Date1+2, Date1+3,... Date1+n
User1 8 8 4 6 ... 2
User2 5 2 8 3 ... 7
User3 0 7 5 0 ... 8
For forecasting purposes this grid looks several months into the future.
I do my work daily, others want it by week. I'd like to automatically generate the same table of data but rolled up by WeekNum.
I tried setting a year-weeknum at the top of the daily table and then using a SumIfs function to compare the user name and week num to sum up the daily hours in another tab for weekly data but I just couldn't get it to function properly.
=SUMIFS('Act - Forecast Hours'!$G$6:$AAL$35,'Act - Forecast Hours'!$A26,$A25,'Act - Forecast Hours'!S$4,O$3)
I think I'm overcomplicating a solution, any help is appreciated.
TIA
Rob
OK, I may have come up with an approach.
Since on my main Hourly Sheet the format is fixed, i.e. each week is 7 days and increments.
I setup a second sheet where I called a vertical and a horizontal offset and used the following formula:
=SUM(OFFSET('Act - Forecast Hours'!$G$9,$A5,D$2,1,7))
$A5 and D$2 refer to offset counts that increment by 7. As you copy the formula to each cell it increments the Row / Column to point to the right spot. Then for the Height and Width I look at a grid 1 row high and 7 wide to select each day of the week.
It works, I'm happy. I'm certainly interested in a more refined approach if there is one :-)
Thank You to anyone that does read through the question!

Excel Date difference without weekend days

Last time I posted a quite vague story about a date difference challenge which I haven't solved yet. I will try to elaborate since I have tried everything in my power and the problem still isn't fixed.
I currently have three columns.
Column 1 (F)
the date a car starts its repairs (format DayOfWeek-DD-MM-YYYY)
Column 2 (G)
the number of days in which the car is repaired (service level agreement [SLA]; the standard is 10 days)
Column 3 (H)
the output, which is the date the car should be finished. So the number of days after the startdate*
*Th thing which makes this case difficult is that only weekdays are included.
So, for example:
If a car starts repairs on Monday 1st of August, the finish date is Tuesday the 14th of August.
I tried to solve this with the following formula:
=IF(WEEKDAY(F218)=2;(F218+11);
IF(WEEKDAY(F218)=3;F218+12;
IF(WEEKDAY(F218)=4;F218+13;
IF(WEEKDAY(F218)=5;F218+14;
IF(WEEKDAY(F218)=6;F218+15)))))
In other words:
If startdate = Monday then startdate + 11,
if startdate = Tuesday then startdate + 12, etc.
This works, but I have 300+ rows and dragging this function down doesn't change the cell references.
I know about the NETWORKDAYS and WEEKDAY functions, but I encounter problems with any Monday where only 1 weekend passes and other days where 2 weekends pass.
First of all, I am assuming that your first day - whatever day that may be - is considered day one (1). So in my scenario, if a SLA states 2 days to complete a repair and the start date is a Monday, I'm assuming the repair should be completed by Tuesday.
My assumption is based off this comment by #RonRosenfeld:
...although you might have to subtract 1 from the number of days
With all that being said, try this formula in your cell instead:
 NOTE: You may need to change things like commas and semi-colons to adjust for your region.
=WORKDAY($F2,$G2-1)+LOOKUP(WEEKDAY(WORKDAY($F2,$G2-1),16),{1;2;3},{2;1;0})
What it does:
WORKDAY($F2,$G2-1)
First we want to find out exactly what day the repairs should be completed by if weekend days (Saturday and Sunday) were included. This part of the formula will simply give us a place to start.
$F2 is your repair start date
$G2 is the number of days a repair is supposed to take (you may need to add a column for this, because, as you stated, the SLA may change and you need the formula to be easily adjusted)
WEEKDAY(WORKDAY($F2,$G2-1),16)
The WORKDAY function from above is wrapped inside a WEEKDAY function. This WEEKDAY function is written to account for each day of a week to be assigned numbers. The [return_type] parameter of 16 tells Excel to label them as "Numbers 1 (Saturday) through 7 (Friday)". We chose 16 so that our LOOKUP function is easier to write. This part of the formula only returns a one-digit number, which in turn will be used to figure out what day of the week we actually want when excluding weekends.
LOOKUP(WEEKDAY(WORKDAY($F2,$G2-1),16),{1;2;3},{2;1;0})
We finish the formula by adding the result from a LOOKUP function using the first form of the function: LOOKUP(lookup_value,lookup_vector,[result_vector])
We found our lookup_value in the previous bullet point using the WEEKDAY function. Now we want Excel to use the lookup_vector - {1;2;3} in our formula - to find the correct value to add to the first part of our formula (which is found using the [result_vector] - {2;1;0} in our formula).
The lookup_vector only has three values: 1, 2, and 3.
1 signals Saturday
2 signals Sunday
3 signals all other days
Think of the lookup_vector and [result_vector] as forming a matrix/table from which our value is found:
1   2
2   1
3   0
If our number of repair days pushes us to:
a Saturday (1), the formula adds 2.
a Sunday (2), the formula adds 1.
any weekday, the formula adds 0 (since weekdays are acceptable).
Hopefully all of this makes sense. Best of luck to you!

Formula to calculate grade using selected best questions answered

Data below shows the maximum score for every question in an exam, and the score of a student. What excel formula can I use to calculate student score using his best 7 questions answered?
Question 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Total
Marks 10 15 10 5 15 10 10 15 10 100
Student score
John D 0 6.5 4 0 3 0 7 2 5 27.5
I think I've come up with something that should almost fulfill your requirement.
Solution can be broken down into following steps:
1. Get the top 7 scoring answers (this is based on your comment where you mentioned that 6 out 10 is better than 6.5 out of 15). As per the data provided in the question best performing score would be 7/10 followed by 5/10, 6.5/15, and so on.
Write the below formula in the Cell B6 and drag/copy across till H6 to get these values.
=LARGE(($B$4:$J$4)/($B$2:$J$2),COLUMN(B1)-COLUMN($B$1:$H$1)+1)
This is an array formula so commit it by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter
2. Now we have top 7 scores in Row 6. On the basis of these values get their corresponding marks. For this enter the following formula in Cell B7
=INDEX($B$2:$J$2,1,SMALL(IF((($B$4:$J$4)/($B$2:$J$2)=B6),COLUMN($B$1:$J$1)-COLUMN($B$1)+1),COUNTIF($B$6:B6,B6)))
and drag/copy across till H7.
Again this is an array formula.
3. After getting marks its time to get scores. Use below formula in Cell B8 and drag/copy across till H8
=INDEX($B$4:$J$4,1,SMALL(IF((($B$4:$J$4)/($B$2:$J$2)=B6),COLUMN($B$1:$J$1)-COLUMN($B$1)+1),COUNTIF($B$6:B6,B6)))
This is an array formula too.
4. In Cell K7 and Cell K8 enter =SUM(B7:H7) and =SUM(B8:H8) respectively.
5. To get the percentage of the top 7 scoring questions with respect to marks allotted write =K8/K7.
Drawback of this solution:
When ever there is tie in values in the Row 6 this may not give you desired result. By saying tie I do not mean same score (eg. 2/10, 2/15) instead I am talking about performance on each question like 2/10 and 3/15 both will give same result as far as performance is concerned.
In the sample data provided in the question John has three scores of 0's (one out of 10 and other two out of 15). Mathematically all three are same however if you want to include score of 0/10 in top 7 considering that it is better than 0/15, this may not happen. In case of tie the above formulas will get value in the order of occurrence i.e. if 0/15 appears before 0/10 then its 0/15 that will be considered in the formula and not 0/10. See the image for reference.
If you have any queries let me know.

Calculating days since an event in Excel

I am working with a weather data set. I am particularly interested in two columns which are cumulative precipitation and a date. My question is a simple one, though I am struggling to figure out the solution. Essentially I am wanting to determine days since precipitation. An example of the data is as follows:
WEATHER DATA
Pr Date
40 8/8/2013
40 8/8/2013
40 8/9/2013
40 8/9/2013
41 8/10/2013
41 8/10/2013
In this example, if I know the last day it rained was 8/7, then 8/8 would have a value of 1 (days since precipitation), 8/9 would be 2, and 8/10 would go back to 0. I have multiple dates because of hourly recordings (I trimmed it down for this post). I've been trying to figure it out with conditional if|then statements, but I'm thinking VBA may be more appropriate here. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Assuming cell C2 to be equal 1 (or start where you wish by adjusting the C2 value), the formula below works in the example you provided. Type in C3:
=IF(A3<>A2,0,IF(B3=B2,C2,1+C2))
Drag the formula down. Explanation:
If precipitation from time i+next is different from i it comes back to zero --> there was rain.
If time i+next is equal i, then it compares the date d+next with d.
If they are equal hold the number of days without rain from previous cell.
If they are not, add 1 day* to the value inside previous cell.
*I'm assuming you have consecutive days from the following sentence:
I have multiple dates because of hourly recordings
