I am trying to figure out the best way to calculate an increase in revenue over the course of a year. I want the total percent increase to remain the same throughout the whole year (ie. 4%), but I have two problems.
1. I want to be able to adjust the monthly increase amount based on different factors (ex: increased revenue in some months, lower in other months), while keeping the overall increase the same. So if In July, there is a bigger increase, the remaining months will adjust to smaller increases to keep the overall increase the same.
2. Right now, in the attached sample sheet, I have it increasing by a flat 0.33% every month, but the way I have it set up, it is compounding this increase so it comes out to the total increase being a bit more than 4%. How can I avoid this?
