Hi Guys, I had tried to resolve the above formula for 2 days and unable to get a workable formula.

What I am trying to achieve is, I wish to fix a formula where I can fix the calculation moving downwards to capture the source at column E. And it can be copy straight away to the next few rows, and the formula will continue to capture what is the next multiply factor on column E.

Example, row D4,D5,D6 are fixed to multiply with the cells at E3
and thereafter the formula can be copied continuously to the bottom of the cells, and row D10, D11 will automatically multiply with the cells at E9

Column A consist of the transaction nature
Column B consist of product name
Column C consist of the cost price
Column D consist of the total costs
Column E is the average of total purchase costs

It seems like only macro can do it, but i would like to keep it simple as possible for the next user to understand how is the whole calculation was derived from. But if simple macro which can helps, i would like to know how to do it as well.

Appreciate if anyone could advise on a workable formula to capture the above scenario.

 

[Fazza]

what about in cell D10,

=C10*OFFSET(D10,-COUNTIFS($A$1:A10,A10,$B$1:B10,B10),1)

 

[Peter_SSs]

A non-volatile formula alternative is
D4: =C4*LOOKUP(9.99E+307,E$1:E3)

A slight variation that you might consider would be to insert a new column (column E below) then the formula in E4 could be just copied all the way down the column instead of copy/paste into individual sections.

what about in cell D10,

=C10*OFFSET(D10,-COUNTIFS($A$1:A10,A10,$B$1:B10,B10),1)

Hi Thanks Fazza for willing to offer your help, however it does't seems to fit in my sheet.

Appreciated your effort

 

[Chaozfate]

A non-volatile formula alternative is
D4: =C4*LOOKUP(9.99E+307,E$1:E3)

OMG!! Thanks Peter, it works like a charm!!! Thank you Sir, it fully fullfill my needs on my sheet.

Meanwhile do you mind further elaborate what is the 9.99E+307 is referring?

A slight variation that you might consider would be to insert a new column (column E below) then the formula in E4 could be just copied all the way down the column instead of copy/paste into individual sections.

I really wish I could redesign the excel actually. But due to the excel was previously designed by my employer, I wouldn't want add/remove any column to avoid any misunderstanding.

Thanks for your suggestion thou, I actually safe keep your suggested formula for any future needs. Appreciated.

OMG!! Thanks Peter, it works like a charm!!! Thank you Sir, it fully fullfill my needs on my sheet.

Meanwhile do you mind further elaborate what is the 9.99E+307 is referring?

You're welcome.

The 9.99E307 is just a very big number (999 followed by 305 zeros). When LOOKUP looks down column E (from the top down to the row above where the formula is) and cannot find that big number or anything bigger, it returns the last number that it did encounter. So in rows 4:6 the last number in column E is 3 but in rows 10:11 the last number encountered in column E is 7

Since you cannot change the layout, you could use this version of my other suggestion & copy to the other relevant rows.
The formula below the screen shot assumes that the relevant number in column E will never be 0. If it can be 0 then the formula could change to
=C4*IF(F3="",E3/C3,F3)

BTW, best not to fully quote long posts as it makes the thread harder to read/navigate. If you want to quote, quote small, relevant parts only.

Thanks Peter, for the alternative formula.

Noted on the message quote function as well, not fond with forum web thingy, apologies on that, will take note for future post. Appreciated.
