    sum of actual months with reducing numbers of forecast months

    Hi

    Can someone provide a formula that can produce the result as shown in cell P4? what i need is
    for eg,,
    when jan 2010 is the only actual month, the formula will be =Dec -((jan+((Jan)*11months)) where Dec is the column N which shown YTD

    Feb 2010, the formula will be = Dec - ((Jan+Feb)+((Jan+Feb)*10months))) where Dec is column N
    and so on.

    Cell P4 is a simple formula which need to be changed every month when the number of actual months change. Can someone provide a more sophisticated formula that will change automatically when actual month changes?

    Thanks

    I don't see what you're trying to do. Also, you have Dec forecast twice (?), and the result of your formula in P4 is negative (?).

    I edited the formula concerned already. Furthermore, one Dec is for MTD (month to date) and the other is YTD (year to date)

    Maybe =SUMIF(B3:M3, "Actual", B4:N4) * 12 / COUNTIF(B3:M3, "Actual")
