Hi!
So I have an existing worksheet that calculates SLD in a way that is somewhat manual.
The columns are the years 2017-2027 onward and the life of the asset. The rows are:
[TABLE="width: 500"]

[TD]Life[/TD]
[TD]2017>>2027 (each column is a year)[/TD]

The spread of depreciation is very simple, it's just the cost of asset / Life, and then the first and last year are cost of asset / Life / 2, a kind of simple way to account for the fact that purchases won't happen at only the beginning of the year. There is no salvage amount.
So does that make sense? Is there a better way? A clear downside is that each formula must be manually adjusted to account for start and the end of life.
I was looking at something like this:
If you’re not Modelling Depreciation like this, you’re doing it the hard way! - Access Analytic
And the "better straight line method" part makes sense but I'm not sure how to incorporate it. I think I do need some kind of IF statement?
Thanks!
