finding and reporting in column A, where a series of column reaches zero
Here's the Scenareo,
I've produced a chart that calculates when a loan would get paid off. The First column holds all the values needed in the chart (interest rate, monthly payments etc...) These values then get copied across columns that are dated monthly at the top of each column. (approximately 60 columns, representing 5 years) obviously each column would calculate the appropriate interest values, and automatically deduct any payments made that month. Somewhere along the columns (hopefully) the "amount to pay" value would reach zero, or a negative number. This would indicate the loan has been paid off. However, and this is the problem: I don't want to be scrolling back and forth looking for a column that has reached zero, I would like to report the date, that is at the top of this specific 'loan paid off' column, In column 'A' That is to say, I could adjust the series of values in Column A, and see how this would affect the finish date of the loan, so if the 'amount to pay' row reached zero at month 24 (Column 'O' with month 1 starting at 'B'), The date at the top of column 24 would appear somewhere in column 'A'. I guess I would need to use a macro, but is there a clever way of doing it with formulas ? Thank you in advance Gary Tamblyn. |
