    Average out a total starting with 0

    Hi

    New to excel

    I have a year end total

    How do I spread the total across the year starting Jan with 0 and the number growing to meet that total at year end.

    many thanks in advance

    Hi, maybe:
    =($M$2/11)*(COLUMN()-2)

    or in C2 and drag to copy:
    =B2+($M$2/11)

    No problem.
    By the way, if you want the calculation to adjust for day of month (in C2):
    =($M$2/($M$1-$B$1))*(C1-$B$1)
