Question on breakeven formula
I am trying to think of a way to structure a formula to calculate days to breakeven when the initial item fixed cost has multiple sales tied it. I made a quick excel chart to demonstrate what l I am trying to accomplish where the initial item cost of $1000 took 6 days to breakeven.

I would suggest pivoting the data in Magic ETL so each day is a row and then you can use the rank & window tile to create a running total. This will allow you to easily determine which day you broke even on. You can then pivot it back to your original format if you really wanted to. However, I would instead suggest keeping it in the day/row format and then using the pivot table chart to display it in the format of your screenshot.

I made a excel formula, but I'm having a problem thinking how to convert this into a SQL / Domo formula
=IF(B2>=A2,COUNT(B2),IF(SUM(B2:C2)>=A2,COUNT(B2:C2),IF(SUM(B2:D2)>=A2,COUNT(B2:D2),IF(SUM(B2:E2)>=A2,COUNT(B2:E2),IF(SUM(B2:F2)>=A2,COUNT(B2:F2),IF(SUM(B2:G2)>=A2,COUNT(B2:G2),IF(SUM(B2:H2)>=A2,COUNT(B2:H2),IF(SUM(B2:I2)>=A2,COUNT(B2:I2),"No Breakeven"))))))))
