Calculate projected figure
Hi,
I need to calculate a projected figure, based on previous months... i.e; JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC 123 345 677 899 1002 1400 ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? The number is cumulative from month to month.... I have previously used the average of the difference between the months, but this is not that great to use... Are there any functions in excel that can do this for me? Many thanks, Mark. |
Calculate projected figure
Try using a moving average average. Tools - Data Analysis - etc If the Data Analysis command doesn’t appear on the Tools menu, you must install the Analysis ToolPak http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...864801033.aspx -- tghcogo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tghcogo's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=10494 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=490696 |

I had a look at that, but found a function called Forecast, which seems to be doing the trick for me!!! Thanks! "tghcogo" wrote: Try using a moving average average.
