Copying calculated values
I'm a college student working on a project and i'm completely inexperienced with excel programming so any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. Here's the scenario: I'm doing a program to forecast demands. I have a column showing the actual sales and another column showing the forecasts. On a separate cell I have the formula for calculating the forecast based on what the user inputs as 'n' (i.e If user enters n=2, then take the 2 most recent sales and divide them by n=2, etc.) How do I program my 'Submit' button so that the calculated value is reflected on my forecast column as the most recent forecasted value and make it repeat the process for the next forecast. (i.e. Calculate forecast, click Submit, enter to C15...do the same process of calculating, click Submit, enter to C16 and so on). Thanks. ------------------------------------------------ ~~ Message posted from http://www.ExcelTip.com/ ~~View and post usenet messages directly from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ ~~Now Available: Financial Statements.xls, a step by step guide to creating financial statements |
Copying calculated values
do you have to use a macro?
You could probably do this with formulas if the number of sales is constant and the last cell with a cell is in A20 for example (previous cells in A1:A19) the "n" entered in B1 in B2 =AVERAGE(OFFSET($A$20,-B1+1,0,B1,1)) To set a cell to a value with VBA Range("B2").Value = "Some Value" -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy smartee628 wrote in message ...
