Hey Parry,

 

Havent developed the dataset yet as I will just leave it if its not possible but it will look like;

 

Date   Job#   Assy#   ActualHours   StandardHours   VarToStd   Var%   Include/Exclude?

 

For each jobs assembly, we are assessing the variance to our current standard (e.g the build operation for widget A normally takes 1 hour but for job 1 it took 3 hours). He currently pulls anything less than 50% of the current standard or over 200% of the current standard (100% positive / minus) and then looks at the reasons for the variances and will either include or exclude these in the calculation of the new standard. The user needs the ability to flag particular rows as either include or exclude in the new average hours (standard) calculation for each assembly.

 

How would a what if parameter be used? Many thanks for your help
