If the 'current quota' is a number in A1
In B1 enter =($A$1/10)*COLUMN(A1) to compute 10% of its value
Copy to C1 to compute 20%, etc
best wishes

Hi,
you get absolute references entering the $ signal as follow

$a$1 = will keep that reference wherever you copy the formula
$a1 = when copying the formula to your right column and row will stay the
same when copying down column will stay the same
a$1 = when copying it to you right, will refer always to row 1

Default use the $ Sign

Hello!

Using the $ sign will make the cell an absolute reference:

$a$1 - A is the column and 1 is the row. If you put a dollar sign before "a", regardless of how you move the formula (copy-paste/drag), "a" will continue to be "a", and if you put $ in front of "1", "1" will always be "1".

if $a1 - "a" will stay the same regardless, and "1" will change

if a$1 - "a" will change and "1" will stay the same
