Applying the Set-up Matrix Formula
Here is the schedule from Section 13 again, but this time the set-up times are derived from the
matrixes:
                                            Set-up Units per       Run        Total
  W/C        Seq      Product      Qty      hours    hour         hours      Hours      Days

                     Totals:                 6.00                 41.63
=IF(A7=A6,VLOOKUP(C6,INDIRECT("Matrix_"&A7),MATCH(C7,INDIRECT("Top_row_"&A7))),0)
Try changing the sequence numbers and sorting to see if you can reduce the total set-up hours
