    How to create a "goal-seek" type formula for an inventory management file

    I have an inventory management file that shows the point where inventory goes to 0.

    I usually manually insert the numbers into a column and add those numbers to the current month, in order to have inventory be positive in two months.

    I'd rather that I create a formula for this (or maybe a goal seek, but it seems like it would slow my sheet down) that automatically returns the number that would bring march to 0.

    Spreadsheet attached.

    I don't understand what is 1, 1.5 & 2
    If you are ready to change your original data structure. Then i will give solution in another way.
    You can mentioned Inventory Norms Fix, Inventory, Moq, Material In Transit, Pending Order.
    Final column is "Order to place"
    For more clarity See attach file sheet2.

    Let me reupload the file. Thanks for your help, but I don't follow your solution at all. It's solving a different question.

    The numbers at the top are daily sales so if starting is 60, and daily sales are 2, then inventory will be 0 at the end of the first month.
