I need to divide a set amount of money between a row of numbers so that the total is the set number. IE, I have $5,000 to divide between 15 people so that each gets the same amount of money that totals up to $5,000. How do I do that?

Okay, so 4 pages of useless instructions? How do I divide the sum of 3 rows with a SINGLE NUMBER, such as B22:B24 "divided by 2" rather than some other stupid row? Why is this stupid application so bloody complicated?!

Hi,
I don't particularly understand what you mean. If you want to divide the sum of every 3 rows in a column by a single number, such as the example you provided. The following formula can do you a favor. After getting the first result, use the AutoFill Handle to get the rest of the results.
=SUM(OFFSET($B$22,(ROW()-ROW($B$22))*3,0,3,1))/2

Hello,

I am trying to create a formula that will multiply certain numbers within a range (1-9) by specific numbers. For example if there is a 1 in a cell, I would like that to be multiplied by 24, if there is the number 2 in a cell I would like that to be multiplied by 13.5, if the number 3 is found in a cell I would like that to be multiplied by 10, the number 4 to be multiplied by 8.5, number 5 multiplied by 7.4, number 6 multiplied by 6.67, number 7 multiplied by 6.29, number 8 multiplied by 5.88, and number 9 multiplied by 5.56.

Essentially I am looking for this formula to convert numbers 1-9 to a scale of 50 and I am struggling with how to do that using conventional formulas found in excel or google sheets.

Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
