Product Forecast - Optimizing Dataset

Aug 9, 2013

I've attached a file that is the result of a product forecast.

What I'd like to do is minutely adjust the data in B4:K12 so that the totals shown in blue colour on Row 15 and Column O are respected.

Using PRODUCT For Large Dataset

Jan 6, 2014

I have a set of 5,800+ data points between 0 and 1 that I would like to multiply together. When I use PRODUCT for the whole set, the formula returns 0. However, I can use a smaller subset of the data to return a very small number. I'm curious if Excel has a closest-number-to-0 or number-of-cells-for-PRODUCT limitation. Is there another way to perform this calculation?

Convert 52 Week Rolling Forecast To Monthly Forecast

Apr 4, 2014

I have a 52 week rolling forecast that I would like to have displayed in each calendar month that it corresponds to. I have come up with a solution where it does lump the data together into months but it is not a smooth lumping of the weeks as some weeks cross over from one month to the next. Is there a way to lump each week into its respective month. My current solution places in some months 4 weeks worth of data and in other months 5 weeks worth of data. Attached is the spreadsheet that I am using. The tab "Weekly Sales" is the 52 week data which has specified the exact dates on the calendar that that week represents. The "Monthly Sales" tab has the 12 week data which has specified the exact dates on the calendar that that month represents. I've tried SUMPRODUCT but that is giving me 4 weeks in some months and 5 weeks in others.

Conditional PRODUCT Function Formula (return The Product Of A List Of Numbers In A Column)

Sep 30, 2009

I am trying to use a PRODUCT formula to return the product of a list of numbers in a column, between 2 specified dates. The spreadsheet is arranged as follows:

Column BA list of dates
Column C & DNumerical data not used in any calculations
Column EThe numbers to multiply together
Cell A1Start date to be used in the PRODUCTformula
Cell A2End date to be used in the PRODUCT formula

The formula I have to multiply the data in column E, subject to the start and end dates in Column A is:

{=PRODUCT(IF(B15:B1000>A1,IF(B15:B1000<=A2,INDEX(B15:E1000,0,4))))}

This returns zero though works appropriately if I replace “PRODUCT” with a “SUM”.

Dynamic Named Range For The Product Name On The Product Details Sheet

Dec 24, 2008

I'm working on a order spreadsheet system, and I have one sheet called Product Details, where the product name, list price and product code are found, these link to the Sales order page, and I need them so that they can be added to.

So far, I have created a dynamic named range for the Product name on the Product details sheet, and linked the the range via a list validation on the Sales order sheet.

The drop down list displays the products and can be added to by typing new product names on the other sheet.

What I need now is that when a product on the sales order page is selected, it draws the the list price and product code data automatically from the sheet, I tried using a normal vlookup, but I couldn't get it to work. I also need the list price and product code columns to be 'dynamic' so new values can be added further along.

Macro For Name Generation From Product To Product With Sizes And Filenames

Jan 30, 2014

I would like to have a Macro to go from the first tab called "Start" and end up with the second tab "End" automatically. BAsically I need to take the product on each line under Tab Start and reproduce it for sizes 35-41 always ending with "-(size)". Then this new Product with Size needs to be multiplied one below the other for as many times as I have pictures (number shown under column B of the tab Start). Next to this value in column B of tab End I'd like the same name listed again but with the number 1, then 2, then 3, etc. as needed and the extension .jpg.

Optimizing Coding

Jun 3, 2008

I have made this vba to go out and look at 2 different locations which contain simular folder names.

The script then writes the folder names in Column A, followed by the Size of both the folders from the 2 locations. The script is comparing the second location folder name to what the first process put in Column A so the folder names will be aligned with the file sizes. It is also converting the file sizes from bytes to the most appropriate one.

The problem I am having here, is once I put the second part in for the second folder, the script is either taking forver (More than an hour) or is freezing. So I am not sure if I put it in a loop somewhere or what exactly is happening. I am just wondering if I can get some help troubleshooting and optimizing this code....

Optimizing Weighted Averages?

May 21, 2014

I created an Excel tool into which really thousands of records are based on weighted averages calculations. And discovered Excel struggling in term of permormance.

The issue is: the user needs to uploads a couple of times in a day new data for further analysis, and the only way to make the Excel spreadsheat humanely usable (performance) was to calculate everything upfront.

To optimize the tool performance, I had to:

- First I made all weighted average calculations upfront when data is uploaded the first time. Leaving formulas in the tool was not viable, since this tool run live analysis, every click would have been a pain of 30 sec at best to re-calculate new conditions,

- Second optimization was to not leave formulas into columns > as soon as a calculation is done, the macro copy/paste values

The formula I chose is sumproduct based weighted averages..

Here is my question:

1. Does it exits specific formulas in Excel to handle nicely large amount of weighted averages to calculate ?

2. Should I consider to use an external application (an Access table, SQL or whatever) to perform those weighted average calculations quickly/quicker.

Optimizing Equations Using Scope Definitions?

Mar 30, 2014

I'm trying to find definitions/commands to make excel find the best combinations of several defined scopes and restrictions to make an output number as high as possible.

This is by using a combination of several different equations, maybe excel has a magic trick for all the variables and formulas.

Optimizing Macro To Run Faster - Timer Code

May 3, 2007

Here is exactly what was described:


A good place to start is to add some "timer code" in your macro. Add a small routine that saves a time value, and another routine that compares that saved value to the current time and displays the difference. At the beginning of a section of code you want to analyze, you call the first routine (which saves the start time), and then at the end of the section of code you call the second routine. In that way, you can determine which portions of your code are taking the longest time to execute. These are the code sections you then focus on, so you can figure out what they are doing that is taking so long.

This sounds like a great tool for optimization...

Optimizing VBA Code For Copying Data In A Table To Different Sheet?

Apr 27, 2014

The idea is that I start out with a number of XML files, which I'm trying to manipulate to calculate descriptives and make graphs of in Excel.

So I've made a large "script" in VBA to accomplish these goals, which works, but I'm trying to optimize the code step by step.The overall process that I want to achieve, consists of :

1) Open the XML in Excel as an XML Table

2) Use the filters in the top row of that XML Table to select the data that I want to use

3) The resulting selection consists of data in 6 columns of which I only wish to select column 2, 5 and 6

4) I only wish to select the data in the table of column 2, 5 and 6 (without the header and only the cells in the table) and copy

5) Last step is to paste this data in Sheet "Calculations"

The step I'm working on right now, is step 3-4. My current code is: [Code] ......

This does the job, but I'm trying to optimize it, since I'm handling tons of XML files and I'm performing this copy function a number of times per XML file.

This copies the data of all the columns in the table for the cases that meet the selected criteria, but I'd like to make an even stricter selection of only column 2, 5 and 6 to not waste space and processing power.

So I tried to select the data from the 3 columns and combine them with the Union function, to copy them as one array to the sheet Calculations.

Optimized a similar VBA code to: [Code] ........

But I'm having issues with getting the right selection method and when I run the macro, I get the error message that the Copy and Paste area aren't the same size.

I tried to alter my initial code to something in the line of : [Code] ..........

But I get error messages 1004 : Method 'Range' of Object '_Global' failed.

I've also tried [Code] ........

But this seems to select the whole column, including the header and tons of rows even after the table ended.

Excel 2003 :: Optimizing Macro To Hide Rows Based On Date

Oct 30, 2011

Operating System: Windows XP, Excel version: 2003

Aim: To create a Macro to hide all rows where the date in column D is before today. Column D has about 600 rows.

Current solution:

Code:
Sub Hide_Old2()

'Worksheet name
With Worksheets("Schedule")
'set start of date range
Set rngStart = .Range("D2")
'find end of date range

[Code] .....

The problem with this solution is its speed, or lack thereof. It causes the screen to hang and flicker while it cylces through. Is there some way to create a range based on the date and hide the range? or another solution?

Note: Autofilter is not an option, as the spreadsheet with the dates needs to be kept simple for other stakholders and the macro is being run from another sheet.

Forecast Linear Trend Between Min & Max

Jan 4, 2007

I am using the Forecast formula to give me a value from a Linear trend. However I need to limit the resulting value that is displayed within a min and max value. Background: This is to allow me to calculate the amount of bonus someone will earn depending on the Percentages of their target they achieve. The min bonus is 25% when 80% of target is achieved and max bonus is 100% when 125% or greater of target is achieved.
So the Forecast formular works great using the existing values, but i need help limiting the results to between 25% and 100%. I was trying to use a sumif formula to copy the resulting cell but only if the value fell between the 25 and 100%. I've attached the spreadsheet as I think it will highlight what i'm trying to do better than I can explain it.

Calculate Exponential Forecast

Jun 18, 2008

I have inherited a series of data relating to a change in a specification over a period of time and a number of cycles.

See attached.

There is already a chart which shows the data and has an exponential line.

I want to find the value of Cycles where the Average Flash exponential from the chart line is 0.131.

FYI this is to plot deterioration in a piece of tooling, 0.131 being the accepted warning level. If you feel there is a better statistical model to use for that application then I'm all ears!

Forecast Calculation - Once Month Has Passed

Jan 31, 2014

I would like to know a way to sum the future months dollars only once the month has passed to consider that amount only in my forecast. For eg. If I have a Vendor A contract from Jan - April for $1000/per month in total for $4000. My Forecast should only be Feb-April = $3000. So my total column should only display $3000. Once Feb has passed , the forecast should only be March-April i.e $2000. How to get rolling month sum of forecast once month has passed.

How To Capture A Set Of Forecast Dates In A Spreadsheet

I'm trying to capture a set of forecast dates in a spreadsheet. We have column 1 = forecast date, column 2 = actual date.

I also have at the top of the sheet (which I will hide when I get the forumula to work), today's date, today's date less 13 days and today's date - 27 days.

In column 3, I want a traffic light system whereby if the date in column 2 is equal to or less than (before) each of the 3 hidden dates it the cell colour will turn green, amber then red..

Weather Forecast Spreadsheet Userform

Jun 25, 2014

I have added a user form to this spreadsheet to make it a little more user friendly to edit/add/delete some information. Now the API used only needs longitude/latitude (lat/lon) to be input by the user. In this case it would be good that for each lat/lon to have a custom name added by the user.

How to link the userform, that's already made, to the information in the spreadsheet?

I was thinking it would be convenient to have the "Site Name" added to a column in the sheet named "Site List" and then have the "Fore Cast Data" pull the names from there.

TREND Function For Passenger Forecast

Feb 10, 2008

So I'm trying to forecast the number of passengers for an airport based on their past 7 years performance. I used "TREND" to forecast the passenger number from 2008 through to 2012 with a little problem and the numbers seems reasonable. However, When I do a scatter diagram and add a trend line, my R squared value is VERY low something around 0.03. I have a limited statistical knowledge but I assume this value should be above 0.90 in order for a good fit with trend line.

Forecast Quantity Based On Sales History?

Mar 29, 2013

I need to find a way of populating a column of forecasts based upon previous sales amount and price. For instance if I have apples on special for $2 and previously sold 200 units on multiple occasions at this price but once off sold 1000 apples at special $1, but normally they are $3 selling on average 50. I would want to get a result of Forecast: 200, not 50 or anything else to far off

I've attached the sheet I currently use for work.

Dated tab: is my working sheet MerchTrend: Previous sales history, which is imported from POS system and unfortunately cells will change based upon sales

On the Dated Tab, price column includes multi buy prices (ie 2 for $3) but the Merch Trend refers to these as individual sales (ie 2 sales for $1.50) On the Merch trend, Price Type refers to promo style. (N for Normal Price, IA, S, R, IR, P are promotional)
