I've written a basic spreadsheet to calculate new electric bills when readings are estimated and then a lower reading is given by a customer , for example 65765 is an actual reading then 69000, 70000, and 71000 are estimated, then the customer gives a reading of 67898. If this happens we have to divide the difference by 4 and add this to the estimated readings to recalculate bills, the system won't let you enter a lower reading when a bill has been generated. We only have to regress bills when there are either 1,2 or 3 bills to regress. My spreadsheet is dumb because i have to write it for 3 scenarios, shown below


What i would like is a spreadsheet where you enter the readings in column A and it calculates when a lower number is added and then makes the calculation as below, for example
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]1000 Current Read[/TD]
[TD]1000 Current Read[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2000 Estimate[/TD]
[TD]800 Estimate[/TD]

[TD]600 Estimate[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]400 Actual Read[/TD]
[TD]400 Actual Read[/TD]
[TD]excel detects lower than 1000, subtracts lower actual read from current read, divides by 3 and adds the difference to two estimated reads leaving the current read as 100[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
