Kludgy, but try this in A3 and fill across:

=IF($A$1<=$A$2,MAX(IF(COLUMN()=1,$A$1)),IF(SUM($A$ 2:A2)
<$A$1,A2,IF(SUM(OFFSET($A$3,,,,COLUMN()-1))=$A$1,0,$A$1-
SUM(OFFSET($A$2,,,,COLUMN()-1)))))

I have a twist on a problem that was answered earlier by
the very intelligent
JulieD.

I want to add columns A2 through P2 until it equals the
total in cell A1
Once the total would be met it would zero out the
remainder of the cells.

For Example:

Cell A1 = 30
Cell A2 = 14
Cell B2 = 15
Cell C2 = 16
Cell D2 = 17 etc. (All the way to P2 which equals 29)

In the end I need:
Cell A3 to equal 14
Cell B3 to equal 15, But we still need to add as we have
not reached
30.
Cell C3 to equal 1, Because we only need 1 more to total
to 30
Cells D3 to P3 to equal 0 as we have equaled or matched
Cell A1 which is 30

I hope you can help again!
