Hi All
Does anyone have an elegant solution for handling a simple allocation? The solution I have involves using specific dates and it's cumbersome because I don't want to list a 'date' for each new revenue.
I've attached a screenshot of what I am trying to do.
In the screenshot, I want to list a whole number in row9, between C and N. This is how many new revenue steams were added in a particular month.
I then want the calculation to occur in row19. This formula should apply the revenue (fixed number in D4) across the number of months (fixed number in E4). If my values for D4=5000 and E4=3, the 5000 revenue should hit for 3 consecutive months (15000 total).
If two revenue steams overlap, they should be added. The revenue for a particular month in row9 should not occur for any months past E4. For example, revenue added in August should only allocate for August, September, and October.
Seems simple to do on a napkin, but I cannot for the life of me think of a formula to handle it without making the spreadsheet much more complicated.
Help for be very appreciated.
