I'm not even sure if this is possible, but I've thought about it a while,
cruised through a lot of the posts, and thought I'd go to the experts and see
if they can help.

Part No Leadtime Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
11154001 5 2000 2530 2020 1860 2640
11154002 4 3200 2530 2020 1860 2640
11154003 3 5000 2530 2020 1860 2640
11154004 2 1700 2530 2020 1860 2640
11154005 1 2250 2530 2020 1860 2640

The columns go out for 4 weeks - Monday thru Friday. Based on the lead time,
I need to find the highest demand within the 4-week time frame. So, if the
lead time is 5, I need to add Monday thru Friday, Tuesday thru Monday,
Wednesday thru Tuesday, etc., and find the highest total demand for that
item. If I change the lead time from a 5, to a 4, it would need to
recalculate and give the highest demand over a 4-day period.

Can anyone help?

Here is one way...
Assuming you have your data in Sheet1 with header row
1. In Sheet 2 A1 enter
=Sheet1!A1 and copy down till end of your data set...
This will give you the Part Nos
2. In Sheet2 C2 enter
=SUM(Sheet1!C2:INDIRECT("Sheet1!"&CHAR(Sheet1!$B2+ 65+COLUMN(Sheet1!A2))&ROW()))
and copy to U2
This will give you running total for no. of days equal to the value in
Sheet1 B1
(Of course, if you have, say 5 in B2, then last four totals will be partial
for 4,3,2 and 1 day)
3. In Sheet2 B2 enter
=MAX(C2:U2)
and copy down till end of your data set
This will give you the Maximum as required...

Test this out and let me know...

Insert two columns between "Leadtime" and "Monday". I will assume going forward
that those are columns C and D and that you have headers in row 1 and data
starting in row 2.

Add a blank worksheet and call it "Totals". Put the following in cell E2 of
worksheet "Totals":

=SUM(INDIRECT("SheetName!R"&ROW()&"C"&COLUMN()&":R "&ROW()&"C"&COLUMN()+SheetName!$B2-1,FALSE))

Replace "SheetName" twice with the name of your original worksheet. Fill this
right to column X and down as many rows as necessary to match the number or
parts on your original worksheet.


On your original worksheet, put the following in C2:

=MAX(Totals!E2:X2)


and this in D2 and format as date:

=INDEX($E$1:$X$1,1,MATCH(C2,Totals!E2:X2,0))

assuming you would also like to know the date of the maximum value.

Copy both formulas down to the end of your data.

I did find a solution that doesn't require another worksheet. I knew that MMULT
could do it, but I don't understand it well enough to figure it out on my own.
I searched the archives of this newsgroup and found it. Thanks to Harlan Grove
and Leo Heuser.


C2=MAX(MMULT(E2:X2,--(ABS(TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(E2:X2))-COLUMN(OFFSET(E2:X2,0,0,1,COLUMNS(E2:X2)-B2+1))-(B2-1)/2)<B2/2)))

D2=INDEX($E$1:$X$1,1,MATCH(C2,MMULT(E2:X2,--(ABS(TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(E2:X2))-COLUMN(OFFSET(E2:X2,0,0,1,COLUMNS(E2:X2)-B2+1))-(B2-1)/2)<B2/2)),0))

Both of these are array formulas, so use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

Thank you -- this worked! I got a couple good solutions -- I'm going to try
the one Glenn suggested and don't have to use 2 worksheets.

Thank you, Glenn! The MMULT was just the ticket. My thanks for Harlan Grove
and Leo Heuser also. I like the formula without having to use an extra
worksheet -- much cleaner. You are a lifesaver.

and this in D2 and format as date:

=INDEX($E$1:$X$1,1,MATCH(C2,Totals!E2:X2,0))

assuming you would also like to know the date of the maximum value.

Copy both formulas down to the end of your data.

C2=MAX(MMULT(E2:X2,--(ABS(TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(E2:X2))-COLUMN(OFFSET(E2:X2,0,0,1,COLUMNS(E2:X2)-B2+1))-(B2-1)/2)<B2/2)))

Glad I could help, although mostly it was just knowing that MMULT was the key to
the answer and then searching for evidence that someone else had already done
the work!
