I am seeking compound annual growth rate - trying to work out what it was over the last 6 years, to then try to forecast. It's volume (litres), not money.

You can use RATE directly to calculate CAGR, ie to get the growth betwen D5 and H5:<br />
<br />
=RATE(COUNT(D5:H5)-1,,-D5,<wbr />H5)<br />
<br />
= 3.0%

Cumulative Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.

Office Productivity

An office suite is a collection of bundled productivity software (a software suite) intended to be used by knowledge workers. The components are generally distributed together, have a consistent user interface and usually can interact with each other, sometimes in ways that the operating system would not normally allow. Most contain a word processor, a spreadsheet, an email client and presentation software; some might contain a database program. Several office suites have their own topics: Microsoft Office, Office 365, LibreOffice (also known as OpenOffice), Lotus IBM and Google Apps.

Office Suites-Other

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.
