Could I ask for some help from you experts with a formula please. I am having an issue with trying to get the correct result for an investment portfolio that I am building. My isue is obtaining the correct RIO value in cell O27 for the month of July. Here are the cells that are being calculated A81+F81+J81-$L$2/$L$2*100.
I want to display the RIO value as the data is entered on a daily basis culminating to the last workday of the month. Some of the percentage results I am getting do not appear correct to me. Once I can display the correct result I could copy this down for Aug, Sept etc.


I have tried to att: a sample sheet but just noticed that with my profile for some reason I am unable to attach. Maybe an adminstrator could explain to me.


Many Thanks

Re: Trying to obtain the ROI value for an investment portfolio.

It is difficult to understand what your error could be since we have no data. Are A, F and J percentages? If so can you add them (all same base)? If not percentages, you miss brackets to get a percentage. You realise you add a+f+j-100 (whaterver the value of L2, it does not change anything)?
Somehow I would expect a (ProfitA+ProfitB+ProfitC)/(CostA+CostB+CostC) formula to get a return on investment.

Hi Kamilga, thanks for replying to me. I have checked it looks like a permissions issue that I cannot send att: unfortunatly no one from the admin side has offered any support. I feel somewhat disappointed.

I have sent the headers through so you might get a feel for what I am trying to acheive. columns "A through L" are indicated below.

Re: Trying to obtain the ROI value for an investment portfolio.

Nobody can add an attachment to their post.
There are tools to copy-paste excel, I installed an add-in for that but the simplest way is to use the snipping tool (installed with windows) to select the part of the screenshot you want, upload the picture to https://imgbb.com (free and no account needed), then click insert image and use the url given by the website.

Another possibility is to create a shared file in dropbox or onedrive and paste the link.
Since your data is value, it could be
Code:
=(A81+F81+J81)/[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]$[/FONT][/COLOR]L[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]$[/FONT][/COLOR]2
or
Code:
=[COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana](A81+F81+J81-[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]$[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]L[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]$[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]2)/[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]$[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]L[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]$[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]2[/FONT][/COLOR]
depending on what the numbers include.

Re: Trying to obtain the ROI value for an investment portfolio.

Hello Kamolga, I have setteled on this formula SUM(J3+F3+A3-L2)/$L$2 which is sited in cell "O27"as looks like the type of result that I am looking for. Thanks for the pointers.

Following on from this, the above formula only operates on one row only. I would like to see the ROI results on a dayly basis then stopping at the end of the month, so I end up with a last day of the month in Cell O27 for July. How could I write a formula that allows this event to occurr? My column headings are listed on an earlier reply for reference. As colunm "E" holds all the weekday dates I couldn't say as I wouldn't know and also the formula would be enormus in length and which cell to reference the above formula to. Or am I overthinking this?
Do you think you would be able to assist please.

Re: Trying to obtain the ROI value for an investment portfolio.

Hi, this would sum what is in column A if the date in column E is bigger or equal to 1st July 2019 and and smaller than 1st August 2019

Code:
=SUMIFS(A:A,E:E,">="&DATE(2019,7,1),E:E,"<"&DATE(2019,8,1))
You can therefore use something like
Code:
=SUM(SUMIFS(A:A,E:E,">="&DATE(2019,7,1),E:E,"<"&DATE(2019,8,1)),SUMIFS(F:F,E:E,">="&DATE(2019,7,1),E:E,"<"&DATE(2019,8,1)),SUMIFS(J:J,E:E,">="&DATE(2019,7,1),E:E,"<"&DATE(2019,8,1)))[FONT=Verdana]/$L$2[/FONT]
to sum column A, F and J that you divide by L2.

Instead of typing 7 and 8 every time, then 8 and 9 for another month, I usually work with row numbers or you can use a hidden column with the month that you want. So let say you hide column P and in P27 you put 7 because you want July, then your formula looks like

Code:
[COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]=SUM(SUMIFS(A:A,E:E,">="&DATE(2019,[COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]P27[/FONT][/COLOR],1),E:E,"<"&DATE(2019,[COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]P27+1[/FONT][/COLOR],1)),[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]SUMIFS(F:F,E:E,">="&DATE(2019,[COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]P27[/FONT][/COLOR],1),E:E,"<"&DATE(2019,[COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]P27+1[/FONT][/COLOR],1)),[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]SUMIFS(J:J,E:E,">="&DATE(2019,[COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]P27[/FONT][/COLOR],1),E:E,"<"&DATE(2019,[COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]P27+1[/FONT][/COLOR],1)))/$L$2[/FONT][/COLOR]

So if you want august in line 56, you type 8 in P56 and the formula in O56 will calculate for August

Re: Trying to obtain the ROI value for an investment portfolio.

Hello Kamolga, I have elected to use the 3rd formula version that you very kindly offered, as once set up the management would be minimal. As I have a column with the Months name already listed.Cell N6 caters for the month name so your formulas now reads
SUM(SUMIFS(A:A,E:E,">="&DATE(2019,N6,1),E:E,"<"&DATE(2019,N6+1,1)),SUMIFS(F:F,E:E,">="&DATE(2019,N6,1),E:E,"<"&DATE(2019,N6+1,1)),SUMIFS(J:J,E:E,">="&DATE(2019,N6,1),E:E,"<"&DATE(2019,N6+1,1)))/$L$2. When I run the formula it is returning a 0% and am unsure why this is occurring, do you have any ideas? Thank you.

Re: Trying to obtain the ROI value for an investment portfolio.

One thing could be that March is text. You need to enter it as 01/03/2019 and use format, more number format, select the last one 'custom' and Type "mmmm" (without " "). So you will read March but excel will know it is a date.

Then you need to enter
Code:
[LEFT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]DATE(2019,month(N6),1),E:E,"<"&DATE(2019,Month(N6)+1,1)[/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT]

If you still got 0%, then it might have something to do wit this -L2 in
SUM(J3+F3+A3-L2)/$L$2 that is not in the new formula...
