Hi Guys,

I was wondering if I could find out how long it takes for someone in sales to reach a target of say £1000?

My guess is I have to add the sales figures cumulatively and then return the date of when the target was reached?

Not sure where to go after that.

Any help would be great!
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi,

Once you have the Date when target is reached, then End Date minus Start Date.

Hi Jtakw

Thank you for your reply.

What sort of formula would I need to return the date?

Can the end date minus the start date be integrated into the orginal formula or does that have to be a separate formula?

Thank you for the reply Logit that was really useful.

I just wanted to add another dimension to this.

If I had multiple sales people - what would be the best way to show the date when an individual cumulatively reached $1000?

Perhaps if you show a sample of your layout, it'll be easier to understand your requirements and to help you achieve what you need.

I hope this table somewhat shows it:

I would need to find out how long it took someone to reach £1000 from their respective start date:

Thank you Logit.

If I have over 100 sales people what would you recommend the quickest way to do this without making multiple tabs for each person?

Thanks
