    Project Program Cost Profile

    Hi there,

    Given the start dates, costs and the durations of a bunch of initiatives. I would like a line graph that tracks the total expenditure of the projects over time (monthly intervals). The key is that if I move the start dates of the initiatives the cost profile will change accordingly. The objective is to understand where there could be peaks in expenditure and where I how I can move initiatives forwards or backward to iron out the peaks.

    Welcome to the forum

    Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Re: Project Program Cost Profile

    If I change the date, duration or the cost the graph will update how my problem is the time line on the graph. I want the time line to expand or contract based up the max and min dates to cope with a move of a project outside of the original time frame

    Before starting on the chart, is the value in B2 on the Expense profile sheet correct. A2 references the first date from the Projects sheet, yet B2 references the sum of the row above that which is in cell HA7.
    As to the chart try the following:
    1. Modify the formula in cell A2 on the Expense Profile sheet to read: =IF(Projects!A8<>"",Projects!A8,NA())
    2. Modify the formula in cell B2 to read: =INDEX(Projects!HA$8:HA$1508,MATCH(A2,Projects!A$8:A$1662,0))
    Or =INDEX(Projects!HA$8:HA$1508,MATCH(A2,Projects!A$8:A$1662,0)-1) if the value should come from the row above the date.
    3. Change the Series Values for the Sum Total to read: ='Expense Profile'!$B$2:$B$1444
    4. Change the Axis Range Label to read: ='Expense Profile'!$A$2:$A$1444
    I tested by changed the value in Projects!G3 from 20 to 24.
