Question Spread values across fields

Hi all,

I am struggling with a formula. I would like to read a value, divide it by 12 and then write this value to 12 different fields. I have developed the formula below to achieve this, which takes the value 1000 from field A1, and splits its across fields A2-A13.

=ROUNDDOWN($A$1/12,2)

This all works fine, but I would like to take things a bit further. The formula above writes 83.33 into fields A2-A13, which is correct. If we say 83.33 is 100% of the value, what I then want to do, is have fields A6 and A10 show only 70% of the value. Therefore both of these fields would need to show approx 58.331. I assume the formula below is the best way to achieve this?

=ROUNDDOWN($A$8/12,2)*0.7

The next stop of the formula is causing me the biggest problem, the remaining fields need to take up the slack and ensure the total value of fields A2-A13 equals the original value of 1000. Obviously, we now know fields A6 and A10 total 116.662, therefore meaning we have 883.338 remaining. I want this value to be evenly spread across the other 10 fields, therefore the value of 88.33 should be written to these fields. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I would achieve this?

Many thanks
