i have got a problem..i have 3 columns in excel-startdate,end date and volume
i need to distribute the volume amongst two months ..for ex start date os
oct 27 and end date is 7th nov, i need to distribute the volume by finding
the volume per day or prorating the days and then put some volume in oct and
the rest in nov... how do i do that???????????

pls help

Say Start date is in A2, end date in B2, volume in C2

month 1 volume:
=$C2/($B2-$A2+1)*(DATE(YEAR($A2),MONTH($A2)+1,0)-$A2+1)

month 2 volume:
=$C2/($B2-$A2+1)*(DAY($B2))

See example: http://cjoint.com/?gcl7jWXoDJ

This works only if 2 consecutive months are involved.

Hi

Tough one!! With your start date in A1, your end date in B1 and your volume
in C1, try this in A2:
=C1/(B1-A1+1)*(DATE(YEAR(B1),MONTH(B1),0)-A1+1) to give you your volume for
the month of the start date. To get the volume for the other month, you can
simply use =C1-A2 in cell B2.

Hope this helps.
Andy.

Hi

My formula is exactly the same as Ardus' in his post. His uses the next two
columns for the results and mine uses the cells underneath. If you have
loads of these, you may be better using the extra columns that Ardus'
formula uses. As he put in his post, it will work as long as the two months
are consecutive - which is the same as mine!
Just fill in the first two and try auto-filling it down the column and see
what you get.

Hope this helps.
Andy.
