Hi
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:15
Could you please share the data, if possible
User 01/08/2018 - 08:15
unfortunately I cant
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:15
Okay
User 01/08/2018 - 08:15
I'm trying to create a table based on the revenue a tenant brings in per month
User 01/08/2018 - 08:15
they have a lease start date and a lease end date
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:16
okay
User 01/08/2018 - 08:16
both the start and end date are in the middle of the month, so the rent they would pay would be prorated and not the full monthly amount
User 01/08/2018 - 08:16
the table lists every month for the term. Below the month it needs to return the revenue for that month
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:17
I did not follow completely
User 01/08/2018 - 08:17
all but the 1st and last month would have the full rent, while the the 1st and last would have the pro rated rent
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:17
Could you explain through dummy data in the sheet on th eirght
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:17
*the right
User 01/08/2018 - 08:20
i need to table to look like that, but I need it to calculate those amount based on a formula and not an input
User 01/08/2018 - 08:20
make sense?
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:20
So you want the output as in row 5 and 6
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:21
is my understanding correct?
User 01/08/2018 - 08:21
yes
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:22
give me sometime to work on it
User 01/08/2018 - 08:22
I want it setup to where when someone enters the rent for that unit and the dates of the term, that it calculates the revenue for each month of the term
User 01/08/2018 - 08:24
would it be some sort of choose function, where if you said if the date is <= start date, it returns the 1st month rent, if its between the start and end date it returns the full months rent, if its >= the last month, the if returns the last months rent
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:25
sort of
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:25
Is there a max date and min date for the timeframe that can be entered in Lease start dat e and lease end date
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:26
First of all, need to figure out to get the months between the dates automatically and then if conditions would be used
User 01/08/2018 - 08:27
the min date would be the start date
User 01/08/2018 - 08:27
the max date would be the end date
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:27
okay
Excelchat Expert 01/08/2018 - 08:28
