    Forecasting Delivery Variances

    I need to show actual variances in delivery volumes as a forecast for the next available delivery date. So if a store has a delivery on Monday and Thursday and on Monday they are -100 cases I need to show +100 cases on Thursday.

    This is made more complicated as stores have different delivery dates and no. of deliveries per week. I have attached a spreadsheet with more information to help - if anyone can help that would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Sahil

    Can you show a before and after picture of the same data, so we can see the progression. What does the raw data information look like?

    Re: Forecasting Delivery Variances

    I have added a new spreadsheet showing how the data needs to change from day to day. Each day we get real data which needs to replace the forecast previously assigned to that day (if there was a forecast).

    The raw data will have two columns showing the list of stores and the delivery variance for that day only, no historical data will be added.

    Thanks,

    Re: Forecasting Delivery Variances

    As modeled on the Thursday sheet the delivery variances are displayed using the following:
    1. Dates for the upcoming days are displayed in row 8 using: =AGGREGATE(15,6,TODAY()+{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}/(TEXT(TODAY()+{0,1,2,3,4,5,6},"ddd")=C2),1)
    Note that this row may be moved and/or hidden for aesthetic purposes.
    2. The next scheduled delivery date for each store is displayed in column A using: =AGGREGATE(15,6,C$8:I$8/(C3:I3=1)/(C$8:I$8>=TODAY()),1)
    3. The forecast variance amounts are displayed in the next delivery date using: =IF(O$2=$A3,-INDEX($K3:N3,AGGREGATE(14,6,(COLUMN($K3:N3)-COLUMN($J3))/($K3:N3<>"")/($K2:N2< TODAY()),1)),"")
    As you manually input the values the formula will be erased in those cells.
