Assigning spend to multiple different events

(Apologies for the butchered title - couldn't think of a concise way of explaining it).

So - I have spend stored on a daily basis in each marketing channel report. Let's say this is marketing each time for a monthly event - but there's overlap between the "lead-time" for those events.

So, for example if the lead time is between 2 and 4 months of the event - then for an event in December, I'd like to factor in spend made between September and October. For January, it'd be for spend between October and November. How would I put this in a calculation?

Say I had a table with a list of events, each on the first of the month. How would I go about creating a *relative* formula that would say sum up all spend from sources A, B and C but only considering dates that were say between 120 and 60 days removed from the day of the event? Trying to come up with a solution but don't really know where to start. My main issue at the moment is that because I need a days worth of spend to be applied to multiple events, I can't work out how to do that.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

    Hi bobbybamber,

     

    It would be better you could post sample tables with detailed records and show us your desired output with images.
