Calculation method

Calculation method

Rounded-up desk demand by scenario/zone

Round each team’s people×attendance share upward, then sum teams within each zone.

Excess desk demand by scenario/zone

max(0,scenario-zone demand−usable desks).

Total desk demand by scenario

Sum the scenario’s zone demands.

Total excess demand by scenario

Sum positive zone shortages, without offsetting spare desks in another zone.

Largest zone utilization across supplied scenarios (%)

Maximum demand/zone desks×100; positive demand in a zero-desk zone is explicitly undefined.

Symbols and units
a
Teams: name, zone, whole people
b
Zones: name, usable desks
c
Scenario rows: scenario, team, attendance share %; include each team once per scenario

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • A declared attendance-share scenario with team-level ceiling rounding, not an occupancy forecast or a building safety-capacity determination. Desks in different zones are not automatically interchangeable.
