    Show When a Column Hits a Certain Number?

    I have a column filled with my stock projections for the next 30 or so years. I have a column to the left of it that shows what month it will be, and another column for how much I'll be investing that month.

    If there any way I can have a cell, separate from the column itself, that can show me in which month my stocks will exceed, let's say, $1,000,000? I'd love for it to be able to look at the column, say "this is the first time the number exceeded 1M, and this is the month that it did it", and then put that month into my chosen cell. Then I would have other cells with other milestones, too. That way I can see how a change in my monthly investments will change the dates of reaching my goals.

    I might have ...

    Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.
