How can I create a dynamic formula to "offset" the input based on how many months to start a process before delivery.

Cell Q14 is determined by:

This offset is determined by identifying the sum of process 1 - 3 and determining how many days in months. So Process 1 would need to start 8 months (cell E2) before delivery in Aug '23.
Process 2 will take the sum of Process 2-3, etc.

Still trying To understand your requirements.

Where is the date of delivery? - I couldn't find it
Where exactly you want "offset" thing? - Q14:AN19? Please explain.

What generates the numbers in Q2:AO10 ? It's difficult to find the logic, when I look in the first part of the formulas in Q14:AO22

Hi Sanjay,

Date of delivery is cell Q1:AN1. It is just the month, for purposes of this exercise, we could use the end of the month as the date of delivery.

Q14:AN19, sorry for that not being clear.

Best case is that Q14 would look at how long the amount of time to complete the remaining process takes (sum of B2:D2) and go that many months ahead in the delivery table, which is (X2) because the "offset" would be 8 months.

In this example, I made those numbers static (because the formula is part of another thread, didn't want to get turned off). In case you want to see that and see if you can help with the problem I am having: Update Equally Distributed Formula.

Thank you.

As I was working with your sample data, I found few discrepancies that need to be understood.

In cell Q14 you multiply with X2 and in adjacent cell (R14) it becomes S2 instead of Y2
Similarly in row below it becomes Z3 instead of X3

There are many more of such kind which are difficult to understand.

There has be some pattern to tell excel what and where to look for under a particular circumstance...

You are right. I had made an edit in column Q and must not have dragged it to the right. I have added a change here:

I am very sorry for messing that up. Does this help?
