    Rolling formula based on dates

    Hope somebody can help me with this.
    What I am attempting to do is set up a cash flow projection and I need to capture when the actual cash comes in.
    (I’ve attached a worksheet to help explain what I am trying to do)
    Basically, I have the monthly billing. So for instance if I bill 3,000 in January, I plan on getting the first of that cash in 30 days after January (which is Feb). What I am saying is in February, I will collect 30% of January billing, in March I will collect 60% of January billing and in April I will collect the remaining 10%. I can get this to work fine the first month, but I can’t find anyway to copy this formula that will work for all the months. When I get into Feb billing..30 days from that is March so the first 30% would come in March, the next 60% in April and 10% in May.
    I think I need a formula that is rolling forward, if you know what I mean. I think it needs to say something like take Jan billing + 30 days (which would put it in Feb) @30% then 30 days from Feb (which would be March for the the next 60% that would be collected etc.
    I had posted this to the forum earlier, but after I read the response, I realized I hadn't made clear enough what it was I was looking for, so I have corrected the original posting question and the worksheet. The attached worksheet (highlighted in yellow)includes a formula I had received originally. This formula however, did not take into consideration that there is a rolling 30 days to each percentage (my fault for not clarfiying more clearly)
    I'd appreciate any help or suggestions anyone can offer.
    Thanks

    Not sure where you want this. Here's what I did.
    First, made sure E4,F4 and G4 were empty (and then hid those columns)

    In H6 copied to the right
    =E$4*10%+F$4*60%+G$4*30%
    Does that give the results you are looking for? (See attachment)
