Default Need help creating a formula that automatically reallocatesunspent funds

I need the formula to update every time I change the month and to
basically do this calculation and spread it evenly across the remaining
months

.. . . . .

Here is a test spreadsheet that shows my formula if it helps:

I'm hoping the following might help getting started.

Change the formula in cell F12 of Test_Sheet tab '12345678', by replacing "$E12/12" by the following fragment:
($E$12-SUM(OFFSET($E$13,0,1,1,DATEDIF($F$9,$F$8,"M")+1)))/
(11-DATEDIF($F$9,$F$8,"M"))
Then copy F12 across to Q12.

In this fraction, the numerator is the budget remaining (the original minus the historical months' consumption); the denominator is the number of months remaining.

Test_sheet has 4 months of historical data (rather than 3), leaving $9,500 to be spread across the 8 remaining months, giving $1,187.50 per month.
