    It depends on model details
    If you use 2 years timescale (2014 & 2015)
    and build a module with versions (Actual&Forecast) you could have steps as below:
    1. For target lineitem (let's name it Sales) you change formula scope to All versions except actual
    2. You upload actuals to actual version
    3. You build formula - POST(sales[SELECT: VERSIONS.Actual], 12)*rate%

    If you're looking for the formula to calculate that version model-wide, you can also use a formula in the versions in the Settings Tab (Settings -> Versions -> Formula).
