EFAILURESS

Description: Returns the expected number of failures if all of the suspensions in the current data source operate for a specified additional amount of time. For example, if the data sheet contains 20 units suspended at 100 hour and you enter 100 for Time, the function returns the expected number of failures (repairs) when those 20 units continue operating from 100 to 200 hours. Not available for stress-dependent models.

Syntax: EFAILURESS(Data_Src, Time)

Data_Src is the source data sheet from which the value is taken.

Time is the additional time of operation of the suspensions (in addition to the current age of each suspension).

Remarks:

The Data_Src can be one of the following values:

If using a default data source, it must be either 1, 2, 3 or 4, as selected from the Data Source Index drop-down list.
It can take a data sheet name (e.g., "Folio1!Data 1").
It can take a variable name defined in the Defined Names window (e.g., datasource).

The Time value must be greater than 0.

Example:

EFAILURESS("Folio1!Data 1",100) = 490

Note that this value will vary depending on the source data set.
