Complex Excel Formula Help
Hello,
I have a complicated excel problem I'm hoping to get some help for. I'm not sure if it's actually possible to solve, but you all are my best chance.
Platform: Excel 365
Problem:
I have an excel workbook that tracks Client's monthly budgets. Each month has it's own sheet. I also have a dashboard where I have created several charts that track certain datapoints as the sheets get filled out. I would like to create a table/chart/new sheet that automatically populates with several data points of client's if they chronically overspend their monthly budget by 20% or more.
Complications:
1 - Clients don't all start at the same time
2 - Budgets aren't the same
Considerations:
Can I make a table that automaticly populates Column A, B, C, D, E, F if a client has overspent their budget by 20% or more for 3 months (not always consecutive)?
Would this be easier to dedicate a new sheet to?
Is there a way to make the remediation Column (N) say yes if overspending criteria is met, no if not met, but then feed that into a seperate table for remediation tracking?
Another option I'm not aware of?
I would be looking to have column A-F from the monthly sheets autopopulate into a new datatable for tracking remediation proceedures.
- JKPieterseSilver ContributorBy splitting your data in separate sheets for each month you are making analyses like this overly complicated. Data about a single subject should always go in a single table, using dedicated columns that allow you to summarize the data by customer, by product, by period, etcetera. Make sure you format the range "as table". Having done this, start exploring Pivot tables.
