Totals in a range
Hello,
I'm relatively new to excel, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a row of numbers with a total:
A1 = 100
A2 = 100
A3 = 100
A4 = 100
A5 Total = 400
What I would like to do is to be able to delete a cell or cells (let's say A1) and have that difference spread evenly to the other cells, all the while keeping the same total. So the new numbers would be:
A1 = 0
A2 = 133.33
A3 = 133.33
A4 = 133.33
A5 Total = 400
Thanks!
paste this in cell A1 in
paste this in cell A1 in Excel: (below)
- then control which cells are included by changing values in col B to 1 or 0
=IF(B1=1,$A$5/SUM(B:B),0) 1
=IF(B2=1,$A$5/SUM(B:B),0) 0
=IF(B3=1,$A$5/SUM(B:B),0) 1
=IF(B4=1,$A$5/SUM(B:B),0) 1
400
... other ways will create circular references...
