    Convert a figure in to instalments with only 1 odd amount

    Hi I hope someone can help with the following.

    I am trying to come up with a formula that will take a figure then split it in to instalments. However I want the first instalment to be a different from the others. For example say the total amount is £1246.60, I want it split in to 10 instalments. However I want instalments 2-10 to be rounded to the nearest £5 and any surplus to be included in the first instalment. So in this example you would have the first instalment of £121.60 then 9 of £125.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Assuming your total is in cell A1:

    In B1, this will give you the value of instalments 2-10:

    =CEILING(A1/10,5)

    In C1, this will give you the value of instalment 1:

    =A1-(9*B1)
