I am trying to write a formula that calculates % of a total based on a specific start date. In the attached example, I have a data validation list in A3. I have a total dollar amount in B3. The output I am looking for would be to spread the dollar total over the year using the start date. It is easy if the start date is always January, because then it is a simple dollar amount and the specific monthly percentage in row 2. Problem is, if the start date (in A3) is not until April, but the dollar amount still has to be spread over the year, how do I write the formula to give me a spread of $100,000 from April through December.
Hope this makes sense.
