Hello all:
I have a graph that needs to be created but before the graph can be created the underlying data must be manipulated in a specific order. I have a table with projects id (Col A) , NPV (Col B), Investment (Col C), Ratio (NPV/Invest - Col D), Cumulative Invest (Col E), Cumulative NPV (Col G). Columns F & H are just in the below file for reference as to how I need the formulas to work for columns D & E. Columns D, E, & G are calculated columns and the only information I'm given (assume) are Project ID, NPV, and Investment. The order that the data needs to be manipulated is:
1. Create ratio by taking column B / column C = column D |
2. Sort by column D descending |
3. Create column E = cumulative Investment (Essentially starting with row 1 and adds each subsequent row (i.e. row 1 = Invest1, row 2 = Invest1+Invest2.....) |
4. Create column G = cumulative NPV (Essentially starting with row 1 and adds each subsequent row (i.e. row 1 = NPV1, row 2 = NPV1+NPV2.....) |
5. Then create the graph (see below) |

The main issue I'm running into is the actions that need to be taken and the expression for creating the cumulative columns where row2 is equal to ColB,Row1 + ColB,Row2 and only after the data has been "ranked"/sorted by column D. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
