If you have previous figures to work from there are a few possible ways. You can use the FORECAST function if you have two sets of dependent figures. You could also use a standard formula if there is a pattern in the figures you have already have got. So if sales had gone up by 10% each year, you could increase the last sales you had by 10%. Forecasting is not always precise so to be accurate is not always certain, particularly with something like sales as it can be affected by many factors. So there are lots of functions that could be used.

If total sales is in M2, then put this formula in N2 to show 15% increase in sales.=M2*1.15
The simplest way is to use the SUM function to add up the sales for the year. The specific implementation will depend on where the values are, so it will depend on what way you have the individual sales entered. There are many ways that you may have them, like with monthly totals or regional totals or totals for individual salespeople, amongst other ways. Say you have the sales individually listed in all the cells from B2 to B125, you could have the following SUM function, in cell B126: =SUM(B2:B125)
We had a profit in the ANNUAL SALES of this year.
((cur ann sales-pre ann sales) / cur ann sales )* 100
You would calculate it using the Sum function. It will depend on what cells your values are in as to what form the actual formula will take.
You can figure annual sales in various ways. The easiest way is by adding the opening stock to the purchases. You should them subtract the closing stock for the year and you will get the annual sales.
Annual sales refers to the total sales have been made in a given year. When you deduct the expenditure from annual sales, you would be able to get your profit for the year.
To graph sales
Formula for net sales is as follows: Net sales = Actual sales - sales returns and discount allowed
Formulas enable you to do calculations. You can do them in Excel and in Access, along with other applications. You would more associate them with Excel than Access, but Access does have a lot of the functionality that Excel has to carry out calculations, including complex ones and ones that use built-in functions. In Excel you typically use cell references in formulas while in Access you use fields. So a formula to multiply two values could be like this in the two applications: Excel: =A2 * C2 Access: =Sales * Tax
i dont get this what
