In the attached sheet I want formula in column C that will give the new order quantity with following logic;



If ("Product"="Product")of column A & I, ("Closing Stock" of a particular product<"ROL" of that product) & (Current "Date" (say date in B5 if formula is being applied in C5)-Any latest previous "New Order" Date>="Lead Time" of that product)

Means if it has given new order quantity once then it should not give it again within the lead time even though the closing stock is less than the ROL. For example if it gives 150 in C3 then 150 comes on or after 21.03.2014.

Our formula should perform the 3rd logic only if it finds any new order qty in Array C otherwise first 2 logic are enough.

Thanks in anticipation.

Is any body there who can help me out of the above mentioned issue.

Let me take a look at it.

Oy...at first blush, I think this is beyond my Excel skills. The first part, comparing the Closing Stock to ROP can be done by...

=IF([Closing Stock]<VLOOKUP([Product],[Product Data Table],2)

But it's this next part that is stumping me:

• The maximum Date
• For the specified Product
• Where the Date is less than the Date on the specified line
• And Where New Order > 0

This would be easy peasy for me in Access, but in Excel it's beyond my meager skills. Maybe someone can figure out how to do this with the Reference functions or it might require a coded function. Or maybe I'm overcomplicating it. HELP!!!

I suppose that if you did not get answers, your problem is not clear. Please post a sample sheet showing BEFORE and AFTER ( personally, I don't understand your requirements)
