    maybe something like this?

    You better add with productgroups so you can specify the forecast per productgroup.

    Re: Seasonal Trends

    hi..

    Ok .. Results should be the volumes as past figures which finally has to match with the sales targets per months. As you can see right bottom lines in the sheet. These past volumes should be adjusted according to the trend and sales target for the next year. It may increase or decrease according to the trand and the sales target.
    Simply, Sum (Volume * Unit Price) = Sales Target
    thanx

    Is this what you're up to?

    If you don't use empty collumns you can drag the formula of the first collumn to the right.

    Re: Seasonal Trends

    Hi,
    Actually this is sales value.. I need volumes for products each month. and the Total of the sales value of the products should same as the sales target as you can see botom line of the sheet.

    cell value from v1282 on wards you can see sales targets in millions for ech month in next financial year. i have to adjust the volumes based on past vales (2011/12 values) as to come up finally to a setted sales target. in this sheet as you calculated total should arrived as the sales targets.

    Thanx

    Re: Seasonal Trends

    then i ask you again, put the desired outcome and the data it is depending on, in the sheet.

    I didn't scroll to v1282 because i don't expect to see data there.

    put the data you need in the top of the file, so it is easy to see.

    Re: Seasonal Trends

    ** I notice you don't add the desired result in the sheet. **

    How can we make a formula, if you don't give us the desired result?

    How would you count this manualy?

Based on these data and trend I have to predict next year volumes. thats why i need a formula which can consider past volumes and given target to calculate the volume for products to next year.

    Hi,

    Not manually . I need to calculate the volume for April 20133/14 by using 2011/12 volume based on the sales target for particular month. Thats what i need . so i need to based on the trend of the past data I have. I have data from Apr2011 to September 2012. Based on these months volumes I have to predict the forecast.
    So
    Inputs are , 2011/12 monthly Productwise Volumes
    2013/14 Monthly total Sales Targets for all products

    By using these two data I have to arrive at new forecast volume for next Financial year Form April 2013 to March 2014.

    Re: Seasonal Trends

    Hi,

    Not manually I have to calculate Volumes for next financial year based on past volumes and the monthly total target given.

    Ex:- I have data from 2011 April to 2012 September

    Based on these monthly volumes need to predict 2013/14 monthly volumes based on the Total monthly targets given.

    So Inputs are : 2011/12 Monthly product volumes
    2013/14 Monthly Total Product Targets

    This Target need to divide among the products according to the trend and finally need arrive at Total Target vlaue.
    thanx
