    Question Subtract one value from multiple others

    Hi,

    I would line to know if its possible to subtract a single value from multiple others until its completely utilized

    I would like to have formula in column A where the numbers in column A (that also are result of a formula) decrease themselves until the number 25 is fully used


    Example:

    Result
    column A column B --> column A column B
    8 25 0 25
    4 0
    2 0
    10 0
    8 7

    That might be possible using VBA, of which I know too little to help.
    A formula cannot do what you want.
    Since there have been no replies in the last two days, here is how Sixthsense's formula could be modified to populate B3:B7
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Another method. In B3 copied down.

    =MAX(0,SUM($A$3:$A3)-$C$3)
