I have a Proposal, in the proposal there is a sheet that gathers the the 
facility upgrade cost, production man hours, by building and other info. 

One thing I need for this sheet to do is take the Production hrs per 
building and calculate installation days per building. Here is the formula I 
am using:

=IF(E5<6,1,ROUND(E5/($F$3*8)*1.3,0))

In this case:

E5 is (7.9) Production Hrs By Building and is gathered from the Costing Tab 
or Sheet in the Proposal

F3 is estimated crew size of (3) and is gathered from the Costing Tab or 
Sheet in the Proposal

Currently I am getting irratic calculations shown below. I would like for it 
to show a part of a day if it is 7.9 hours to do the job and there are 3 men 
working 8 hours a day it should show something like 0.34 intallation time day 
with a Safety Factor.

           Production Hrs By Bldg	Installation Time (Days) with Safety Factor
E5            7.9                          	0.0
E6            0.8            	1.0
E7            3.2	                1.0
E8            6.4            	0.0
E9            3.3            	1.0
E10           19.5	                1.0

Dave - Your last argument in the Round function is telling it to round it to 
0 decimal places.  =IF(E5<6,1,ROUND(E5/($F$3*8)*1.3,2)) might be more to your 
liking

Thank you that helps.

Could you help me with one other thing in the formula.

If you will notice that E5 gives an installation days of (0.0) and E6 gives 
an installation days of (1.0). 

7.9 is > than 0.8 why doesn't it show it as it should be?  

By the way with your new formula E5 now shows installation days of (0.43) 
which is correct. But it still shows (1.00) for E6.

            Production Hrs By Bldg          Installation Time (Days) with 
Safety Factor
E5            7.9                            	0.0
E6            0.8            	                1.0
E7            3.2	                                1.0
E8            6.4            	                0.0
E9            3.3            	                1.0
E10         19.5	                                1.0

OK, look at your formula.  The first test in the IF() is whether the value in 
column E is less than 6 and, if so, return a 1, OTHERWISE do the ROUND() 
portion of the calculation.  Since .8 is far less than 6, the first test 
passes and the formula gives you the 1.

I sense the first test in the IF() is either unneeded, or does not embody 
the proper logic.
