    please see attached
    i amended the month formula to give decimal places instead of a straight month

    and weeks cover next to it is based on 30 day months divide by 7
    you can fold into formula to make one cell

    Re: Inventory Cover Formula

    i know where the error is, i didnt give If statement for over 7 months... but i found inaccuracy in the results as well

    i must this is far from simple which is your initial request and maintaining it would be a major PIA
    do you need it in single line?

    Month Cover Forum new.xlsx

    I have highlighted a couple of lines in yellow, why is this happening

    And thanks very much for your support, if it is a big PIA can you show me how it could be easier than across?

    try this:
    =IF(SUM(D4:J4)>C4,MATCH(TRUE,SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET($D4:J4,,,,COLUMN($D4:J4)-COLUMN(D4)+1))>C4,0)-1,"MORE STOCKS")

    then CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER

    Re: Inventory Cover Formula

    you need to press CTRL+Shift+Enter when you enter the formula

    you know it has worked when { } appear around the formula

    tried this formula gives back whole number...not quite the same but easier to manage though you would need to understand how the formula works to mess around with it if you want to update sheet for whatever reason
