Trying to use EXCEL to Figure out Mathematical calculations

[RudeBoy]

I am trying to set up a formula using maybe the MOD feature in excel to show break downs for pay-out spots (Golf Tournament) for this example 1st thru 7th position.


Total amount of money is $4,680

Finishing
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th
6th
7th

Percentage Used by place %
11
10
9
8
7.5
6.5
6

Results by place
$514
$468
$421
$374
$351
$304
$280

HOW CAN I SET THIS UP IN EXCEL USING the MOD feature or another formula item?

Thank for your Help - Take Care

I understand what you want, but your 7 places don't total out to 100%, so you really can't check to make sure that the total is right. You could use the Round function and specify zero places to just have a whole number, like $515. Then you could also SUM up those totals and compare it to your total payout to make sure it doesn't exceed that number, if it does you would then need to adjust something by hand.

Just surround Marcelo's formula with Round(formula here,0) to get whole numbers.

Not sure if that will work for you but might get you closer.

3​	Place​	%​	Prize​
4​	1​	11.00%​	$ 515.00​	C4: =ROUND(B4 / (1 - SUM(B$3:B3)) * ($C$2 - SUM(C$3:C3)), 0)
5​	2​	10.00%​	$ 468.00​
6​	3​	9.00%​	$ 421.00​

Marcelo, I think it's just happystance that your prizes total to the correct number and aren't off by a dollar or two.

You're absolutely right! I know that just by chance my formula worked. I was waiting for some comment...

As a workaround, I would change only the formula in the last row, C21, for
C1 - SUM(C4:C20)
In your example would be
C2 - SUM(C4:C20)

By the way, your formula is more robust.
