Hello --
Another follow-up from yesterday --- I have columns that look like the following:
A B C D E F
1 Month 1 2 3 4 5
2 Promo 43 52 37 OFF OFF
3 Sales 21 20 23 25 27
4 Margin 297 632 911
I've got Margin as a cumulative number which considers sales from previous months (less a churn amount of those customers) -- and a Promotion period which will be variable in the model. In this instance, it happens to be a 3 month period. I'm trying to create a SUMIF formula to account for these varied timeframes, so that I will sum the Promo sales, apply a churn factor, and then * by a margin --- and also do the same for my regular Sales customers as well. Here's what I've tried with a SUMIF formula, but I'm getting funky results:
If In C4:
SUMIF($B$2:B2,"B2>0")*(1-$churn rate)*($margin)+SUMIF($B$3:B3,"B3>0)*(1-$churn rate)*($margin)
If in D4:
SUMIF($B$2:C2,"C2>0")*(1-$churn rate)*($margin)+SUMIF($B$3:C3,"C3>0)*(1-$churn rate)*($margin)
etc....
I know I'm being thickheaded here --- but need some help. I should probably have something that indicates if row 2 doesn't = "OFF" (promo over), but in months 4 and 5 I still have to account for the base on those customers that will churn away from those that I sold in those 3 promo months...
