Hi - I have three acquisitions which will occur in different months (i.e. one in Feb; one in Apr etc):

Timing of Acquisitions
JanFebMarAprMayJun
Acq11
Acq21
Acq31

<colgroup><col><col span="6"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

When acquired, each acquisition will then have the same profile of revenue and cost (i.e. the first month of each acquisition will have a revenue of £1,200 etc):

Typical Acquisition ProfileMonth
123456
Turnover12001000900130012501500
Cost of Sales-900-800-750-1100-1050-1325
Profit300200150200200175

<colgroup><col><col span="6"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>


So the output in April for example would be the Month 3 turnover from Acq1 and Month 1 turnover from Acq2:
Output

Cost of Sales0-900-800-1650-1900-2700

<colgroup><col><col span="6"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>


Whilst I can do this for low volumes with lookup or index/match; I will have a lot of Acquisitions and a large P&L - can I use a database function to perform a single calculation?

Thanks to all for helping
