Excelchat Expert
08/03/2018 - 09:20
you need E10 value of every week?
User
08/03/2018 - 09:20
without manually doing it
User
08/03/2018 - 09:20
yes but I need c10 to constantly add 100 each week and not include weeks that havent occurred yet
Excelchat Expert
08/03/2018 - 09:20
Here we can write a formula for individual weeks
Excelchat Expert
08/03/2018 - 09:21
So you can compare individual week percentages
Excelchat Expert
08/03/2018 - 09:21
See E3 and E5
User
08/03/2018 - 09:22

Excelchat Expert
08/03/2018 - 09:23

those dates havent happened yet but I know what the goal is
User
08/03/2018 - 09:24
when 3/17 is here how does c10 automatically calculate c7 and c8 now that they are in the past
User
08/03/2018 - 09:25
so on 3/18 c10 should be 400
Excelchat Expert
08/03/2018 - 09:26
So C10 should automaticall calculate the added weeks right
Excelchat Expert
08/03/2018 - 09:26

User
08/03/2018 - 09:26

Excelchat Expert
08/03/2018 - 09:27
C10 should calculate only past data not future
