Lets say in A2 thru A5 I have 4 different codes for one product all with different amounts represented in B2 thru B5. I then have 7 different people I need to allocate those amounts to in columns C1 thru I1 evenly against their order in C2 thru I2. What would be the algorithm that could be used?

eg.
GROUP 1 GROUP 2 GROUP 3 GROUP 4 GROUP 5 GROUP 6 GROUP 7
7,500 18,122 3,545 21,776 12,124 5,488 7,210
SCB 26,542
SCW 15,885
SCA 7,122
SCV 65,124

That isn't quite correct, Group1 order is 7,500 but it is allocating 11,351.51 to group1 from the 4 codes.

Do you want an equal percentage to each? Or does the 26,542, 15,885, 7122, and 65,124 determine which goes where?

Yes, it needs to be allocated against the totals available. The reason (if it matters) is to minimize and spread out risk between customers.
