Values Distribution Across Months
 

Hello,

I am looking for a formula that will help with the following distribution
question:

Take a quantity of items (for example 1.5 apples) and distribute them
accross the months which are available to that item (for example Jan, Feb,
and .4 of March). I always want to fill capacity in the lastest available
month first.

So to lay out the above example with a little more complexity (2 fruits)

A1 = 1.5
A2 = 2.2
B1 = Apples
B2 = Bananas

A3 = Jan
B3 = Feb
C3 = Mar
D3 = Mar
E3 = Apr
F3 = May

A4 = Apples
B4 = Apples
C4 = Apples
D4 = Bananas
E4 = Bananas
F4 = Bananas

A5 = 1
B5 = 1
C5 = .4
D5 = .6
E5 = 1
F5 = 1

The formula would go in A6:F6 and would result in

A6: 0.1
B6: 1.0
C6: 0.4
D6: 0.2
E6: 1.0
F6: 1.0

I can see doing this with different IF statements in each of the cells A6:F6
but since I have many fruits and need to be able to often change the months
different fruits are available (values in row 4 and 5) frequently, I am
looking for a uniform formula I can copy into all cells in row 6.

Thanks in advance for your help!
