    Proportional Allocation

    Hi All

    I have a set of countries with a percentage allocated to them, for which they total a 100%.

    I want to be able to change the percentage of one or more of them, but the total percentage must still add up to 100%.
    The difference (+/-) created by the change in percentages should be proportionally split between the remaining countries.

    I can do it manually of course (as is in the attachment), but was looking for some expert advice!
    The attachment explains step by step.. the colors are there to guide you accordingly.

    PS: The number of countries is endless, and i only posted an extract.

    Many thanks
    Sam

    and copy right.

    of course you can go step further and get rid of one row - see attached file.

    And if you want so - even one step further - in the attached file try in B8:

    and copy right.
    then you can delete row 6

    Re: Proportional Allocation

    Thanks Kaper. Works great.
    I prefer to use:: =IF(B4<>"",B4,B2+IF(B4=0,-$I$4*B2/SUMIF($B$4:$H$4,"",$B$2:$H$2),0))

    Could you explain the formula please; If B4, has a value, write B4 else write B2 and add......
