    Self Ajusting cell , moving to provide target to meet end of year target

    OK so my brain is not working this morning so need help please.

    I've a annual target to meet and I monitor each week, some weeks go over and some under. My annual target is below 3.74, however some weeks the result can go above so need to adjust the target each week to ensure the end of year target is met.

    I want to enter a formula that reviews all results entered and adjusts the target to bring back in line for end of year - any ideas as I can work it this morning

    If it helps I can put it into a sheet with cell enpty

    Thanks

    Andy

    Re: Brain Freeze monday morning - help

    How about making your thread title a little bit more explicit of the problem and supplying a workbook?

    1. It would help to see the workbook.

    Please change the title to a more appropriate one (according to the forumrules).

    After that:

    You get better help on your question if you add a small excel file, without confidential information.

    Please also add manualy the expected result in your file.

    To Attach a File:

    1. Scroll down to the window below your post Additional Options
    2. In the frame Attach Files you will see the button Manage Attachments
    3. Click the button.
    4. A new window will open titled Manage Attachments - Excel Forum.
    5. Click the Browse... button to locate your file for uploading.
    6. This will open a new window File Upload.
    7. Once you have located the file to upload click the Open button. This window will close.
    8. You are now back in the Manage Attachments - Excel Forum window.
    9. Click the Upload button and wait until the file has uploaded.
    10. Close the window and then click Submit.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    I imagine the Moderators will want (insist) that you change your thread title to comply with forum rules.

    As Ali has said, be explicit and post a sample workbook. In principle, the adjusted weekly target would be the average of the annual target, less sales to date, averaged over the remaining weeks.

    I'd suggest you increase your annual target by, say, 10% to give you some room for manoeuvre if you have a bad week or two towards the end of the year. There might not be scope to cater for late under achievement.

    Self Ajusting cell , moving to provide target to meet end of year target

    Hi, sorry if ive not met some rules. I've attached a simple sheet to show what im being asked to do.

    I want he cell to review the results already entered and then provide a live target to meet end of year target. I understand the live target will decrease if some results are above but cannot figure the formula out

    Thanks

    Andy
