A question came up on excel 2013 test to do the total amount of expenditure distributions (for each month) equal to 10% of the total cash sales (B1). i can't remember all the details;amounts, etc.. but it looked something like this:
I am not sure which formula to use because I don't see how the total can equal 10%. Would a SUMIF formula work here? If so, how do I go about it without using shortcuts, please? Thank you in advance!
