    Excel Calculation
    « on: April 24, 2019, 06:05:23 PM »
    Hello, Please move if in wrong forum

    How do I calculate monthly averages over a year to a know amount?

    I know I have to install 7300 computers over 12 months. How do I add each month to a total and calculate each months % towards the total?

    The 12 months are not even divided same.  (7300 / 12 = 608 computers a month) but what if I did 3 computers one month and 1200 another month?  I need to calculate each month towards the 12 month total of 7300?

    Thanks
    B

    Whenever I need Excel help, I post in mrexcel.com's forums (fora?). Usually I get an answer in less than ten minutes.

    If I understand your concern correctly, it should be pretty straight forward.

    Column A = Month
    Column B = Manually Enter, number of computers added
    Column C = Running total of added computers (so, Cn=B1 + Cn-1)
    Column D = Remaining installs (not necessary but maybe nice to know?) (so, Dn=7300-Cn)
    Column E = Percent complete (=Cn/7300)
