Next calendar quarter

Hi,

 

Failry new to all this and trying to feel my way around something completely foregin.

 

I have some sales forecasts that I want to show on a rolling quarter basis. For example, we're in Q1 (Jan, Feb, Mar) now, but i want to show what we're forecasting for Q2 (Apr, May, Jun). I'll need to calculate our estimated wins from the figure - Total forecast in Q2 × Win rate %.

 

Thanks

 

Phil

OK, I'll see if I can add some context.

 

We estimate sales in future quarters. I want to be able to divide the sum of my future estimates by a win rate to achieve how much business i think we're going to win in that future period at our current win rates.

 

Data is provided similar to the below.:
