Hello everyone, I have a challenge that you might help me with.

i Have a twofold challenge with my attached data set and i am looking for a formula to provide me the required insight. I need to count the number of months until a product reaches a rolling average value of 2 million. Can you help?

ie: Product 1 reached the 2 million rolling cost in x months

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Edit: To enrich the assistance request i came up with this formula: =MATCH($D$2,SUBTOTAL(9,INDIRECT("$D$4"&":"&ADDRESS(ROW(D$8:D$52),COLUMN(D$8)))))
The problem is that it only counts the cumulative value until it reaches the intended target and not the rolling performance.
D2 = Target value

Found my solution: =MATCH($F$2,SUBTOTAL(1,INDIRECT("$D$9"&":"&ADDRESS(ROW(D$9:D$41),COLUMN(D$8)))))
D2 = Target value

By changing the subtotal function number to average (1) i was able to make it work dynamically.
i expanded the indirect address as well so it would not generate a circular logic error.
