I want to split our joint credit card bill but have some items I pay and some my partner pays. I have 2 columns headed A and B with a sub total at the bottom for our respective personal spends. Now let's say the total bill is £300 entered in a single cell, but on that bill my personal spend is £20 and my partners personal spend is £40. So the total to split would be £240, or £120 each plus our personal spends. What would be the formula under each of our respective columns to show what we each owe? TIA.

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Can you show your exact layout using the boards XL2BB add-in please (the XL2BB icon in the reply window is a link to the instructions and download link or click the red underlined XL2BB in my signature block which is also a link).

=300*20/(20+40) for you and
=300*40/(20+40) for your partner

With that layout you can just amend Toadstool's formula.
