allocating between positive and negative amounts
I'm looking for a formula to properly calculate the amount to allocate to
accounts, some with positive balances, some with negative. example, I need to allocate a $500,000 increase to ten different accounts (based on percentage of the total), with some accounts having a debit balance, and some a credit balance. Would using absolute values work? Any ideas? Thanks. |
Assumptions:
A1 = $500,000 A2 thru A11 contain the account balances Formula in B2 = =(($A2/SUM($A$2:$A$11))*$A$1)+$A2 copy this down to B11 HTH, Gary Brown Financial Consultant "THosier" wrote: I'm looking for a formula to properly calculate the amount to allocate to accounts, some with positive balances, some with negative. example, I need to allocate a $500,000 increase to ten different accounts (based on percentage of the total), with some accounts having a debit balance, and some a credit balance.
