    S-Curve (Profiling Cost)

    I'm attempting to set-up a spreadsheet that can take a pre-determined cost profile (cost of project split by incremental %'s - a classic S-Curve profile) than can adjust and re-profile after actual cost in introduced, if there has been over or underspend for that period - has anyone had any experience with similar?

    Thanks shg - that's great for determining the original curve - I was hoping for some guidance on when inputting actual spend against the project the s-curve would re-profile across the periods left to ensure the full expenditure was captured

    I don't understand conceptually what you're trying to do.

    You enter actual cost, and want to regenerate the spend profile assuming that the whole thing scales by (actual to date)/(estimated to date)? That sounds pretty sketchy.

    Re: S-Curve (Profiling Cost)

    Sorry shg i'll expand - We have a predetermined delivery cost profile which will monitor cashflow - from this I was hoping that as monthly/period actual costs were entered if there was any over/underspend for that period it would re-profile the remaining sums across the remaining delivery period. i.e. the forecast expenditure was

    Month 1 - $1000 | Month 2 - $2000 | Month 3 - $5000 etc. - if in month 1 the actual spend was $850 I was wanting that to re-profile the remaining $150 across the rest of the months?
