Payments for a Certain Time - Completely Stuck

I am developing a pro-forma and need to capture different types of funding during "X" time periods. However, I am not sure the best way to do this. I am thinking an if statement but I am not sure if this would be the best approach.

As an example:

- Debt Source #1 will start in year 1 but will end in year 5, and
- Debt Source #2 will start in year 6 and end in year 12

What is the best way to tell excel to recognize Debt source #1 during years 1-5 and then switch to debt source #2?

I look forward to your help. Thank you in advance! :)
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
a lookup table

year 1 source 1
year 6 source 2
year 13 no source yet

so if you lookup year 5 it will return source 1 etc etc

Forgot to mention...I will not know the year the financing will occur, nor will I know the duration of each source. Will a lookup table still apply? If yes, is there an example of the coding you could provide?

so you want a loan but have not yet been given it, a few months hence you are given a loan for 3 years, but you will still need a loan for year 4 onwards


I am not clear what you want - is it project loan status - ie seeking, acquired, paid off,

Hopefully the following will help provide additional clarification:

The project will always have financing in year 1 (Let's call this Funding Source #1). However, this financing could be for any length of time (e.g., 5, 8, 10, 11 years, etc.). So I am trying to enable Excel to recognize that Funding Source #1 source goes for "X" time (let's say 5 years, for this discussion) and switch to Funding Source #2 in year 6 (when Funding Source #1 depletes). And Funding Source #2 will extend for "Y" number of years, until it runs out and a new funding source (Funding Source #3) will be used.

Please let me know if this provided further clarification or if any additional clarification needs to be provided.

the second and third dates are auto calculated
if you change the dates in the D column
dates in A column will automatically adjust
anywhere near your needs ?

We are on the right track. However, for this exercise all I am concerned with is the year and not the exact date (if this is possible).

How do I get the cells to recognize when to switch from one source to the next source (once the source expires)?

I'm not sure if we are calculating or reporting...
but an example
=if(and(Today()>StartDate,Today(),EndDate),Calculate,Do_Nothing)
which does a specific date calculation
For just Year maybe
=if(and(Year(Today())>=Year(StartDate),Year(Today())<=Year(EndDate)),Calculate,Do_Nothing)

Use EOMONTH to calculate EndDate from the StartDate.

also if(A1>T1,"expired","")

then check if that cell has expired
but
you know when funding expires - what is the issue

Thank you SpillerBD,
That is essentially what I had in mind. However, when I input this action Excel computes zeros. Here is what I have for one source:

C3 = Start Year
C4 = End Year
C5 = Amount

G1= Year 1

IF(AND(C3>=G1,C4<=G1),C5,"")

I have also tried, IF(AND(C3>=G1,C4<=G1),C5,0)

For years where C3 equals the year Excel does not pull the AMOUNT, nor does it pull the amount when C4 equals the end year. Any suggestions?
