Default Inventory Months Supply Question

Awesome! It works. I see now what I was and wasn't doing. Thank you, Thank
you! I really appreciate your help on this. This will help me in other
reports as well.

OK, first it looks like you missed the part about array formulas needing to be
committed by hitting CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

Also, this is a two-cell solution. The formula you entered could/should be in a
hidden cell, and then the second formula would be displayed. Try it this way
(copy directly from this post if possible):

R6 = SUM(($F$2MMULT(H5:Q5,(COLUMN(H5:Q5)=TRANSPOSE(CO LUMN(H5:Q5)))+0))+0)
*** This is the array formula ***

D6 = R6+(($F$2-SUM(H5:INDIRECT("R"&ROW()-1&"C"&R6+COLUMN()+3,FALSE)))/
(INDIRECT("R"&ROW()-1&"C"&R6+COLUMN()+4,FALSE)))

Copy to R7 and D7 for the "High Value" results.

OK, but I can't help without more information. Either post your worksheet on
www.savefile.com or describe your exact data and formulas here so I can recreate
it on my end.

It looks like this is on the same level as what I want to do, but I can't get
the formula to work. It gives me an error message saying "A value used in the
formula is of the wrong data type". I don't understand as all of the data
used in the formula is of the "Number" type.

I have a spreadsheet with current inventory on hand and the sales for each
month from the last year. I want to figure how many months our inventory on
hand will last based on the last years sales. For instance, WidgetA has 100
on hand and Mar, Apr, May, Jun & Jul sales were 5,10,15,40,60, respectively.
I know that we have 4.5 months supply, but I have to manually figure this
calculation. I have more than 400 items. This takes a long time to figure, is
there any way to automate the figuring of the months supply?
