Like pdberger I'm not sure what it is that you want but assuming that you
have a number divided between a number of people as evenly as possible then
to divide 100 between 7 people:

Put 100 in A14 then in A15 the formula:

=ROUND(A14/(7-(COLUMN(A15)-COLUMN())),0)

cell B15 the formula:

=ROUND(($A$14-SUM($A$15:A15))/(7-(COLUMN()-COLUMN($A$15))),0)

then drag it along to G15

The result should be:

14, 14.14, 15, 14, 15, 14

simple spreadsheet which allocates numbers of duties depending upon number
of
employees, allocations always need rounding up or down. I can do this but
need to put remainder ( i.e between -0.49 and +0.49 into a new cell in
order
to carry forward to the next round of alocations) any ideas?
