S Curve model HELP

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a s curve model which redistributes the amounts on a rolling period. Below is a snippet of my data:

Fali324_1-1708685065915.png

 

 

My data points are:
Project name
Start Period
Project Duration
Total Budget
Spend to date
Left to spend.

 

To get the spread value, it is months complete/duration. which then gives me a decimal number to multiply the "left to spend" number to get the spread for the remaining months. I've mocked this up in excel. However, when I enter an actual amount only the next month is recalulated not all the remaining months. Highlighted in yellow are the numbers I'm trying to calculate and the green numbers are my actual.

 

Any help with this will be much appircated as I've been stuck on this for a while.

Hi,

Share the download link of the Excel file with your formulas intact.  I'll try to convert those Excel formulas into their DAX equivalents.

Formula in the cell under FEB- 24 is:
=IFNA(IF(K$18>=$D20,IF(K$18<=$D20+$E20-1,VLOOKUP((K$18-$D20+1)/$E20,'S-Curve Profile'!$B$2:$C$249,2)*($F20-$G20)-(IF(J$18>=$D20,IF(J$18<=$D20+$E20-1,VLOOKUP((J$18-$D20+1)/$E20,'S-Curve Profile'!$B$2:$C$249,2)*($F20-$G20),0),0)),0),0),0)
