How do i keep the total of 3 variables constant
 
I want to input 3 variables into my spreadsheet, each needs to be able to be
altered but the total must never be more than 100. Can the other cells be
automatically altered to achieve this?

How do i keep the total of 3 variables constant
 
In what way?

a: 20, b: 50, c:30

Change 1 to 15
What should b and c be? Why? What are your "rules"?

Kind regards,

If a is changed b and c must change to maintain the total of 100. A possible
inclusion of an option to keep a certian variable constant would be good too.

Thanks
