Keeping default values every month

Begnuser123

Hi All,

 

I am creating a workflow, where i am gettting data for the previous month in the current month and i need to forecast.

 

Example

 

MonthYear   Sales   Forecast

Oct-2018      334      

Nov-2018     555

Dec-2018     111

Jan-2019      222        123

Feb-2019                 (0.5*222)

Mar-2019                  (0.7*222)

 

I need to change this every month whenver i get data for the earlier month. Is there a way to bring it in a formula that it adjusts itself whenever a new sales input is provided.

hi @Begnuser123 

 

Where do you get the multipliers(0.5, 0.7, etc) from?  Do you always forecast for the next 2 months only?
