I have a total cell ($.024046) that sums all rows above which contain 1 blank cell (XXXX). On the side is a cell which equals 80% of the total cell ($0.19). How can I make the blank cell match the cell returning 80% of the total. With trial and error, $.32 in the blank cell will output $.32 as 80% of the total. They match. How can I match with formula? I tried goal seek but it did not work.

Reference: Ext cost = qty x unit cost

When summing ext cost to equal total cost, and returns being 80% of total cost, the $0.19 must equal the same value returned as $0.3206.

The goal seek in the previous example by the other member solves the problem, but I want in formula.

I have your data in A1:E16 with the total in E16.
Formula in G16: =0.8*(E16)/(1-0.8*(C11))
I don't get a circular ref.
