Hi @Will Man

Look at "Spread" function

Hi @Will Man

You could make use of the CUMULATE function or YEARTODATE funtion or MOVINGSUM function.

I would recommend YEARTODATE function.

Thanks,

@Will Man

This sounds like a similar problem I solved with "cohort" or "diagonal" calcs.

See this post from earlier this year

Hope that helps

@DavidSmith It's very intersting solution with fake time dimension.

In case of small number of periods to spread (less then 10) as an alternative one we can use another way:

Add up to 10 **** line Items with formula like:

'Period+1'= OFFSET(inputdata,-1,0)* '% for day1'

'Period+2' = OFFSET(inputdata,-2,0)* '% for day2' etc.

Total = 'Period+1'+ 'Period+2' etc.

This solution sometimes can be faster and take less cell quantity.

But "It depends" on the model and not a rule
