Predictive Excel Sales Trend Analysis - 10/11/2025 09:02 EST
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I have a historical sales dataset that I want turned into clear, forward-looking insights directly inside Excel. The main goal is to build a predictive model that flags upcoming sales trends so I can plan inventory and campaigns with confidence.
Your task is to:
• Clean and structure the raw sales data if needed
• Create an easy-to-refresh predictive model (regression or time-series—whatever suits the data best) using native Excel tools such as Power Query, Data Analysis ToolPak, or simple VBA where appropriate
• Present the findings as intuitive charts and a short narrative that spells out what the numbers mean for future sales
Acceptance criteria: the workbook must run without external add-ins, clearly highlight projected trends for the next periods, and let me adjust time frames or new data with minimal effort. If you have a proven approach for sales trend forecasting in Excel, I’m keen to see it.
