Calculating with rows of data dynamically

TS-User

Hi! I have a simple gross margin calculation  as set out below (i.e. Gross profit divided by sales). I would use a multi row formula to calculate it, but sometimes I have several months or even weeks of data presented in fields, which would mean that I have to write down a formula for each period separately. Is there a way to make it more dynamic? e.g. determine how many periods there are and then calculate a period specific gross margin at once?

 

Thanks a lot!
