Default 50% formula

I have winxp 2003.
I have a sheet named data which has a list of names that looks like
this;
in cell a1 #1 Jackson - #2 Johnson
in cell a2 #3 Smith - #4 Jones, etc, with different names for six
more cell counting down.
In addition each name listed has their own sheet assigned to them,
sheet 1 is Jackson, sheet 2 is Johnson, sheet 3 is Smith, etc. In cell
r3 of each sheet s a two digit number, i.e. sheet 1, r3 84, sheet 2, r3
54, etc.
I would like to take the number on sheet 1, cell r3 compared to the
number on sheet 2, cell r3, then take 50% of the difference of the two
numbers and give to the person with the lowest number. I don't mean to
add it to the existing number but just show the difference in a
separate cell along side the name of the person on sheet named data.
Therefore, if sheet1, r3 has 84 and sheet 2 r3 has 34, 50% of the
difference of 30 is 15 and 15 is given to #2 in a separate cell along
side the name of Johnson. All numbers are to be rounded down to no
fractions. If both numbers are the same in cell r3 a zero would show in
cell bx. The final product would look like this;
cell a1 cell b1
Jackson - Johnson Johnson 15
cell a2 cell b2
Smith - Jones Smith 5
cell a3 cell b3
Callis - Dallas 0
Etc, for the next 5 cells containing the rest of the list.
I hope you folks can help, thank you in advance.
Wally

Where did the 30 come from?

Sorry, I made a mistake. The 30 should be 50 that is, 84-34=50. So 50% of 50 is 25 and 25 goes to #2.

Does that clear it up?, Thanks
