    Excel series and sequence formula needed

    I need a formula to fill in incremental increase to a value total. All cels increase incrementally equal
    B1 = 2
    C1 = ?
    D1 = ?
    E1 = ?
    F1 = ?
    G1 = 25

    Total of B1 to G1 = 50

    I may need to extrapolate this out over multiple cels but all the cels will need to total 50

    Please try in C1 and copy down until E1: =B1+1
    Please try in F1: =50-SUM(B1:E1)-G1

    not quite
    C1 - F1 need to increase equally
    B1 = 2
    C1 = ?
    D1 = ?
    E1 = ?
    F1 = ?
    G1 = 25

    After numbers entered. All need to equal 50 H1 = sum(B1:F1)

    Re: Excel series and sequence formula needed

    That is good stuff but it isn't what I want (I asked the wrong question.
    Second attempt
    Starting at
    B1 = 2
    C1 = ?
    D1 = ?
    E1 = ?
    F1 = ?

    all cels increase equally and then the total of all cels = 50
    I also need this to work if it is 3 cells or 10 cells

    Thank you
