    Forward Months of Supply Inventory formula

    Ok, I can't figure out how to do calculate a forward month of supply metric for a spreadsheet. It could also be the sheet itself isn't laid out well for it, but anyways, thought I would try some feedback.

    It is a dumbed down version of a sheet that projects out inventory amounts, pulls in sales and production, etc. Any tips?! Thank you!

    What are you looking for help with? The sheet looks like it already calculates the projected inventory based on the expected production and sales figures.

    Thanks nigelbloomy. Yea, the sheet works good but I saw a forward months of supply calculation on another excel board but couldn't figure out how to make it work for this sheet. I'm projecting inventory which is nice, trying to find some ways to get more out of it.

    Wow, thank you! I will try that out tomorrow at work on the original sheet that is a bit different.

    OK, I thought I knew Excel but I have to put my head in shame. Copied this into the legit spreadsheet. Moved around where it was pulling data to the correct spots (I think). I put the correct data into the sheet you provided to make sure I got the same results. Nope, different results. The legit sheet has more rows, filled with other things that I didn't think were relevant (the sheet I provided was dummied down). Any ideas why I'm getting different results? The Demand row info is the same, Supply and Inventory are all the same numbers but in the legit sheet its giving a much lower amount.

    The formula is way to advanced for me to grasp what could be going on.

    Nevermind, I figured it out and it's way to embarrassing to even being to tell you. Thanks again! It looks like it works! This place rocks!
