How to create a calculator?

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a calculator that will calculate monthly price of a product for 12 months plus a 1 time price for a product in the first month. Example if I get a product for $10/month for 12 months and it will cost $50 to install I want a line graph to show $60 in month 1 and then $10 the remaining 11 months. How do I structure a table to do this along with being able to filter between differnt products??

      I would lik to keep the months generic and just have it as Month 1. This would be a presales calculator.

        Hi

         

        Is it possible to share some sample data to work with? I’m still not clear about your real requirement.

  • Hello,

     

    On high level for your model you want to three dimension tables (Customer, Product and Date) and one fact (transactions ) table.

    Let me know if this is something you are looking for and we can continue with formulas.
