Excel masters, I need your help! I'm doing a monthly variance analysis and need a year-to-date formula that will calculate only columns that have monthly actuals populated in them. For example, I have 3 columns for each month (actuals/budget/variance) and a total year-to-date at the end (actuals/budget/variance). I don't want to have to adjust the YTD column formulas at the end of each month close, how can I get a formula that will total my 3 columns (actuals/budget/variance) for only the months that have amounts in the "actuals" column.
For example:
19-Jan 19-Jan 19-Jan 19-Feb 19-Feb 19-Feb 19-Mar 19-Mar 19-Mar YTD YTD YTD
GL code Actuals Budget Variance Actuals Budget Variance Actuals Budget Variance Actuals Budget Variance
1111 1000 1000 1000 ? 3000 ?
2222 2000 2000 2000 ? 6000 ?
3333 3000 3000 3000 ? 9000 ?
If I have actuals for both Jan and Feb (but not March as the month hasn't closed yet), what formula would I put in the YTD actuals/budget/variance columns so that it would only include Jan and Feb but not the march budget (3000). Please tell me I do not need a VBA. Thanks in advance!!!
