Question regarding a matrix calculation on an input table

    Good afternoon,

    I am attempting to build a hazard assessment tool that would incorporate a matrix calculation on risk likelihood, severity, and risk control. I tried utilizing an input table but am having trouble configuring a calculation for the Initial Risk and End Risk Level columns.

    I have assigned numeric values as follows:

    Likelihood:

    Certain 5

    Likely 4

    Possible 3

    Unlikely 2

    Rare 1

    Severity:

    Catastrophic 5

    Major 4

    Significant 3

    Minor 2

    Insignificant 1

    Risk Control:

    Elimination -5

    Engineered -4

    Substitution -3

    Administrative -2

    PPE -1

    Please note the risk controls are negative numbers. I would like the initial risk level automatically calculated after the likelihood and severity have been input. The End Risk Level would be calculated after the risk control's have been identified.

    I would also like to format the two 'risk' columns with the corresponding risk level colours as shown in the matrix that I have attached as a screen shot.

    Hi there,

    I got a word from my colleague.

    You may use the Input Table field. That's close to your example and here's a guide on how to perform calculations in the input table.
