I am building an implementation model and I have most of it done, the revenue table looks like this:

REVENUE TABLE
OpportunityStartAprMayJunJulAug
Opp 1May010,00010,00010,00010,000
Opp 2Apr5,0005,0005,0005,0005,000

Basically the table will show the calculated run rate based on the start date.

But, what I want to do on top of this is add a ramp.

RAMP TABLE
1st month2nd month3rd month4th month5th month
25%50%75%100%100%

So the table should look like this:

REVENUE TABLE WITH RAMP APPLIES
OpportunityStartAprMayJunJulAug
Opp 1May02,500
(10,000 x 25%)
5,000
(10,000 x 50%)
7,500
(10,000x75%)
10,000
(10,000 x100%)
Opp 2Apr1,250
(5,000 x 25%)
2,500
(5,000 x 50%)
3,750
(5,000 x 75%)
5,000
(5,000 x 100%)
5,000
(5,000 x 100%

So what I am trying to do is have a draggable formula but it needs to apply the 25% of the ramp table to the start date even though that column varies.

Which XL version are you using?

Would you ever have a 0 in the middle?

What version of Excel are you using?

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Yes, we can have account churn or interruptions that drop it to zero.

Since I have a column identifying the start date, that part is easy. The part that I find hard is how to have the formula start at the first part of the ramp no matter which column has the start date.

OK, I solved it with the use of an offset

=OFFSET(Ramp Table 25% cell,0,(MONTH(Revenue table month)-MONTH(Revenue Table start column))
