Calculating MoQ Against a Forecasted Demand

Copper Contributor

I need assistance in calculating a Minimum Order Quantity (MoQ) against a Forecast when the Forecast is greater than the MoQ:

 

For Example:

Cell A1 contains an MoQ of "75": Cell B1 contains a Forecast of "100": Cell C1 contains Order Quantity

Cell A2 contains an MoQ of "150: Cell B2 contains a Forecast of "500": Cell C2 contains Order Quantity

 

I know that C1 result is 150 and C2 is 600, but I want a flexible formula that calculates this without my having to change it for every cell, since my MoQ's vary.

 

Anybody with any ideas?

 

Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks in advance.

This can be simplified a little to read

= CEILING(Forecast, MoQ)
