    Calculate expected percentage

    Hi,

    I have the following date of where my progress should be by these dates:

    Start: 01/08/2017:
    25% complete: 02/09/2017
    50% complete: 10/10/2017
    75% complete: 12/12/2017
    End: 31/12/2017

    I want to work out what % i should be on, based on todays date.

    As the amount of dates are not the same between each quarter i have been unable to work this out.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Should every day from October 10th 2017 to December 11th 2017, for example, return 50% complete?

    No, for example on the 12th October it would show 52% (or whatever % would be correct)

    Re: Calculate expected percentage

    That's tricky. Try this (see attachment)

    I created a lookup table which includes the completion %, the date, and the number of days in each range.

    I then used the following formula
    =SUM(LOOKUP(E2,B2:B6,A2:A6),(0.25*(E2-MAX(IF(B2:B6<=E2,B2:B6)))/LOOKUP(E2,B2:B5,C2:C5))) Ctrl Shift Enter

    Hi,

    Thanks for your help!

    When I choose today's date, the percentage is shown as -96%. Any ideas?

    Re: Calculate expected percentage

    When I put today's date (8/30/2017) in cell E2, cell F2 displays 22.66%, which seems reasonable.
    If you could upload a copy of the worksheet that shows your problem it might help someone figure out what is going on.
