    Want to limit amount taken out by a cell to a set amount. Still looking for help with this

    Hello,

    Making a new spreadsheet.

    Would you please let me know how I can make a spreadsheet do this.

    Nothing that I have tried is working so far.

    A = $ 100
    B = takes 100 % of the amount in A up to $ 40
    C = takes 100 % of the amount in A up to $ 40
    D = takes 100 % of the amount in A up to $ 20
    E = takes 100 % of the amount in A up to $ 20 but does not post a value in the cell as there is nothing left of the $ 100.
    etc.

    Thank you,
    Richard Todd

    put your values in row 1:
    A1: 100
    B1: 40
    C1: 40
    D1: 20
    E1: 20
    in A1: 0
    in B2: =IF($A$1>=SUM($B$2:B$2),IF($A$1-SUM($B$2:B$2)>=B$1,B1,$A$1-SUM($B$2:B$2)),0)
    and copy across to E2

    Hello aganesan99,

    That works for the percentage but is there a way to limit the amount that is taken out in a cell?

    Thank you,
    Richard
