Default Which function to use?

How do I spread a remainning balance of 11 mos gradually upward untill
it is gone with 1 known starting number, and an annual number.


One way (among many possible) is illustrated in the csv file below.

Jan,100
Feb,=B2+(B$1-12*B$2)/66
Mar,=B3+(B$1-12*B$2)/66
Apr,=B4+(B$1-12*B$2)/66
May,=B5+(B$1-12*B$2)/66
Jun,=B6+(B$1-12*B$2)/66
