Spread forecasted work to operating days

Hi all,

 

I am looking to spread the forecasted numbers across the operating days from the sample data.

 

I have a massive brain block how I can do this so after suggestions.

 

it the attached we have forecasted sales numbers by skill but the site (DLC) does not operate on a Sunday or Monday, so how can I effectively spread the forecasted numbers for these days into the other 5 days, an even 20% split across this days is fine.

 

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and expertise.

Hi @Genty 

 

Here's one way to do this

Add the week number so you know which week to fill.  Split the days into Sun/Mon and the others.  Determine the proportion(20%) to allocate to the rest of the days in that week.  Sum the amounts in case you get orders on Sunday and Monday.  Join to the rest of the days to apply the proportions and add them to the values.
