This will be a step by step overview of how you can make a Rate of Sales Calculator using Microsoft Excel. This tool can measure sales trends, gauge sales velocity, and assist in forecasting sales and inventory.

Create a range of cells from A2:F3.Label cells A2:F2 exactly as I have above.*For time period you can use days, weeks, quarters, years etc.

Select and highlight cells A3:D3.This is where you will input the data that needs to be calculated.

Enter the sales data you want calculated in the yellow cells.Cell A3: Enter the amount of retail outlets carrying your product.Cell B3: Enter the total sales for your product.Cell C3: Enter the units per case (enter 1 if the case is sold as one unit.)Cell D3: Enter the time period used for the sales data from cell B3.

To calculate rate of sales in cases input this formula in cell E3:=ROUND((B3/A3)/D3,2)

To calculate rate of sales in units input this formula in cell F3:=ROUND(E3*C3,2)
