You will see my spreadsheet.
What I'm trying to figure out is a simple method of Forecasting
Choices.
The formula I use (in cell B9 in this example) is
=IF(B2<FALSE(),IF(ROUND(((B2/$H$3)*$C$7),0)<1,1,ROUND(((B2/$H$3)*$C
$7),0)),0)
What it does is:
Takes a set of observation values, and presents a value for each
choice by multiplying a target total by the percentage of each choice
compared to the original sum total.
Check to see if the observed value is not False (choice is not
available).
Check to see if the presented value is less than 1, if so, make it 1
Generate a presented value if not False and not less than 1
With a Small & Medium choice across the Colors the outcome seems ok.
But once I add in a Large Choice the outcome does not match the
target.
Any one see an error? Maybe another way to do this?
An error in your logic, maybe. In the block that includes "next 12
choices" with a "large" choice row, there are 13 non-false
possibilities, to each of which you impose a minimum value of 1, so you
can't possibly sum to 12 in this block. I'd fix that aspect first.
