I have a complex formula requirement

I have any number of cells/rows in a column (in this example 4 but it could be 10,24 or just 1)

For example
Value title 1200
Value title 2300
Value title 3400
Value title 4500

These values are up to date and current. However, next month they will be reduced by a figure from another cell. Let's say this figure is 100. This 100 will be divide by the number of cells/rows there are, so in this case, that's 4. So each value would be subtracted by 25 (100/4). Below will be the new values:

Value title 1175
Value title 2275
Value title 3375
Value title 4475

All well and good, I have the formula that can do this one time. The complexity starts because I want these values updating automatically every month and when one of the figures reaches 0 it is discounted (no longer included) and what was a division across four becomes a division across 3.

The other challenge of this is, say the figure from the other cell is 800 (instead of 100), using the table above, that means the 175 value would reach 0 but there would be 25 left over. This 25 would then need to be distributed evenly and subtracted from across the other 3. Demonstrated below:

Value title 10
Value title 266.77
Value title 3166.77
Value title 4266.77

I hope this makes sense and hope someone might be able to help.

I think I may be asking a little too much though :/

Thanks
