Would an array formula be useful to find the total?

Hello there,


I hope you can understand from this explanation.


Imagine B2 to B14 to contain monthly figures in terms of hours to be spent on a section of a project, B15 to include the total money coming in for that project.


I'd like to find the incidence of the hours over the total, obtaining how much is worth a given month.
This was solved by doing B15*Given Month/(SUM(B2:B14)).

The challenge: I may have X many rows, and I don't know in advance how many these could be.
I'd like to have a formula that could surface a range of cells, being able to add new rows if required without changing the formula.


I thought the array formula could have been useful, but I can't figure out how I can get them working giving this particular scenario.


Any helps?

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
My Bad ... when writing the message I messed up with the cell reference.

Imagine B2 to M2 to contain monthly figures in terms of hours to be spent on a section of a project, N2 to include the total money coming in for that project.

This was solved by doing N2*Given Month/(SUM(B2:M2)).
