Hi all,

I hope that someone can help but i'm trying to replicate some excel-based reports in Salesforce, and one particular report splits out the gross amount over certain months.

We have created custom date fields that are called 'Campaign Start Date' and 'Campaign End Date' - which refers to the TV spot booking for which this opportunity is for. Our teams require a report that shows which client has booked a spot, and for how long.

Example:

If we pitch to Smiths Inc. with a figure of £500k, and the pitch is won, we need to know the months for which to bill Smiths Inc. - but only for the months of the campaign duration.

So the campaign details are as follows:

Campaign Start Date = 01/08/2009

Campaign End Date = 01/12/2009

Gross Amount = £500,000

The money split would be as follows:

August = £125,000

September = £125,000

October = £125,000

November = £125,000

Any months that don't fall into the campaign dates will be blank.

Report Header (and data) Example 

Jan   Feb   Mar   Apr   May   Jun   Jul   Aug   Sept   Oct   Nov  Dec

                                                                   125k  125k  125k 125k

I'm thinking that I would need to create twelve formula fields (one for each month), but I'm not sure of the structure of how to put these formulas together.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can do this easily? The report creation is the simple bit, but I'm stuck on creating the formula fields.

Help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed.
