    Formula Help - Increasing values to reach target figure (including capping)

    I am currently trying to prepare some modelling data and am trying to find a formula for the following scenario:

    I have attached a list of current figures which I need to gradually increase year on year to a target total.

    Year 1

    If Current + 15% (which is variable) is greater than target, then highest of current or target.
    If Current + 15% is less than target, current + 15%

    I have actually input this formula for Year 1 and get a total of 228,613. The issue I have is that I actually want 225,572 as the total for Year 1 as this is a phased modelling scenario.

    Therefore, what formula can I use to get to my figure of 225,572 but ensure that the following rules are followed:

    If figures currently stated for Year 1 are over the target figure, I want to reduce these items collectively by 3,041, BUT the revised Year 1 figure cannot fall below the target figure.

    Can anyone provide an array formula which would resolve this, or I am stuck with the option of having a large number of additional columns to continually get to my end result?

    Many thanks
