I am preparing a financial forecast and want to have the ability to move
rows of revenue data to an earlier or later start date. For example, I
have a contract beginning Dec 05 with monthly revenues running until
Nov 07. I want to be able to change the start date and have the same
numbers move to the right or left in the spreadsheet depending on the
new input date. A what if concept.
The at if function is too complex and each cell requires huge formulas.
I have tried named ranges and I can cut and paste the whole range easily
but then the links don't work. If Dec 05 is linked in my base worksheet
to say Dec 05 in the P&L, if the data is moved to start Jan 06, the
link stays in Dec05.
I dont know if this is a macro/VBA issue or whether there is some other
way. If someone could just tell me the excel functionality to explore
that in itself would be helpful.
I am sure this is a standard need but all the books and the posts I
have read never seem to deal with it. Wouls appreciate some guidance.
