    subscription revenue

    I'm trying to quickly calculate subscription revenue...

    for example: if 1k of revenue is booked in January the yearly revenue would be
    1k x 12months + 1k x 11 + 1k * 10 and so on to equal 78k

    Two questions:
    what is a quick one cell formula?
    how would model this with two variables, recurring revenue and start month?
    in this case it would be 1k, month 1. However I would also like to see 1k starting month 4


    Thanks

    See if this gets you pointed in the right direction...
    With
    A1: a month number...1
    This regular formula returns the cumulative rule-of-78ths value for the current year:

    In that example, the formula returns: 78 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12)

    If A1: 4 the result would be: 45 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)

    Is that something you can work with?

    I think that this is what you are looking for

    This is the number of months divided by 2 time the number of months +1 times the amount of 1000

    Another way of doing this for numbers in A1 to A5.

    This means take the last number and add to it the first number and divide that by 2 and multiply by the number of numbers.

    If the numbers were from 85 to 89 in A1 to A5 then the formula would actually read

    =(89+85)/2*5
    =435

    Re: subscription revenue

    I looked at your chart. Why are you adding an extra 1000 in L34 as you have already added the 1000 for December in cell L33? That makes 12 incomes for 11 months. The formula works fine for 11 incomes for 11 months.
