    Projecting Cashflow based on Starting month, Project Duration and Spend Profile

    I’m working on Excel 2013 and really looking for an answer to a complicated (for me) calculation.

    The purpose of the workbook is to allow various projects to report onto a template to project cash flow for construction works. The numbers that will be inserted into the sheet are

    1) Start of Work Date (In this case 3 for period 3)

    2) Duration of Works (Nr of months, for this example 5) - from this we will get an End Date for
    works.

    3) Project Value (£1m)


    I have a spend profile which id like to apply. i.e. Month 1 (10% of Project Value, Month 2 (20%), Month 3 (40%), Month 4 (20%), Month 5 (10%)

    Input Table

    Start Period Duration (Periods) End Period Project Value
    Project Dates 3 5 8 £1,000,000




    I have these currently set up in a table so that I can pick them up

    Spend Profile Matrix
    Period
    1
    2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    Duration % Spend % Spend % Spend % Spend % Spend % Spend % Spend % Spend
    1 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    2 50 50 0 0 0 0 0 0
    3 25 50 25 0 0 0 0 0
    4 15 35 35 15 0 0 0 0
    5 10 20 40 20 10 0 0 0
    6 7.5 15 27.5 27.5 15 7.5 0 0
    7 5 10 15 40 15 10 5 0

    Timeline 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
    Spend % 0 0 10 20 40 20 10 0 0 0
    Value 0 0 £100K £200k £400k £200k £100k 0 0 0

    Output Table



    The difficult part is to pick up the correct figures from the spend profile based on the information entered into the Input Table and be calculated into the correct month in the Output table. For example if Start date was now changed to Period 2 and for a duration of 3 periods. I would want the table to read


    Timeline 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
    Spend % 0 25 50 25 0 0 0 0 0 0
    Value 0 £250k £500K £250k 0 0 0 0 0 0



    Any help or advice or solution would be hugely appreciated as this is driving me mad and unfortunately I don’t seem to have the skills to resolve it.

    Re: Projecting Cashflow based on Starting month, Project Duration and Spend Profile

    You already have a load of stuff on an Excel sheet - right in front of you. Not many people here will want to guess where it all is....

    Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? Please don't attach a picture of one.

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
