    Calculate percentage with fixed total

    Hello! I am in need of help! I've done a few searches, both here and on the internets, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I don't even know if what I'm looking for is possible-or if I did find it, I'm not smart enough to recognize it...

    I have a table with 9 colums (8 data, 1 for the total). I would like for the 8 data cells to total up to the fixed total cell. I would also like for these cells to be part of a percentage (percent sign doesn't actually have to be present).

    so for example (imagine a pretty table here):

    (in cells b2-J2) 20, 10, 20, 10, 20, 10, 5, 5 total=1860

    1860=100%
    I would like if B2-I2 could be manipulated so that someone could play around with the numbers (these numbers will never be above 100) and still have 1860 as the Max total.

    Could you attach a sample workbook?

    Here is a sample. The numbers 5-20 represent part of total percentage. 1860 is what the total is.

    In C2 and copy across, =B2*$J2/100

    The attached workbook contains DATA VALIDATION in cells B2 to I2 that allows them to be manipulated but not exceed 100.

    I don't see the data validation...I can still input greater than 100
