What type of formula do you have in your YTD? Sum? Average? Please post
example.

For instance, the formula
=SUM(B2:E2)
should calculate no matter what cells are empty or blank. If you're tyring
to do an average based on number of months passed, things get a little more
complex, perhaps a:
=SUM(B2:E2)/COUNTIF(H2:S2,0)
Which would give an average based on months passed, assuming every month
that has passed has a value greater than 0.

I am doing a quality dashboard. On the left side I have 1 column for "Goal,"
4 columns for each quarter, 1 column for the year to date and 1 column for a
red, yellow, or green flag. To the right I have columns for each month for
the data to be entered monthly.

The problem is that when I enter the monthly data, it does calculate in the
appropriate quarter, but the quarter data does not appear in the YTD column.
It wants all 4 quarters of data entered before it will give me a YTD. I want
it to calculate as I go. Any suggestions?
