For period 8, the calculation of sales forecast  =G$1*B8+(1-G$1)*C8.

Thank you for the link.

It is very helpful for the beginner like me to read your article.

I have tried to us the function "earlier" but with no success, since the forecast depend on the previous calculation result of the same column.  I need help.
