Trending Function?

K

Kevin

I'm trying to have a six month forcast of storage used on a server.

I have range D3:O3 as storage values assigned for 12 months
I have range D2:O2 as the date each of the storage values were pulled.

I would like to have a formula in cells p3,q3,r3,s3,t3,u3 that will give me
a forcast for 1 month out, 2 months etc.

Would I use the Trend formula for that?

Thanks,
Kevin Green

Select P3:U3 and enter this array formula (commit with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER):

=TREND(D3:O3,D2:O2,P3:U3)

Sorry, that wasn't quite right. P2:U2 should contain the future dates, and the
formula should be this:

=TREND(D3:O3,D2:O2,P2:U2)

In P2 enter the next date. Add this formula to P3

=FORECAST(P$2, $D$3:$O$3, $D$2:$O$2)
