I have received a new spreadsheet with the annual budget for the 22-23 fiscal year.

I also have 5 clients, each with an allocated percentage or breakdown of how much the overall budget is to be applied.

Example: client 1 will receive 33% of the overall budget.

Is there a way I can have a "drop down list" by selecting the client and then the budget recalculate to the assigned breakdown percwntage amount?

I.e: if I select client 1, all calculations will convert to 33% of the total budget.

I'm struggling to find method to action this.

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
@jas86 Welcome.
Difficult to be specific without knowing how your full budget data is structured.
However, maybe you can develop the below?
Requires a lookup table to provide the source of your dropdown and retrieve the client budget percentage.
Then use that percentage to modify the full budget breakdown values.
If original breakdown values are derived by formulas then just edit the formulas to be eg ????*$B$3
If they are hard values then you will need to retain them and create additional cells that apply the percentage in eg. $B$3

AB
1ClientBudget %
2Client Z33
3Client 9913
4Client A22
5Client 220
6Client 6612

Sheet6


Book3
ABCDEF
1
2ClientBudget %
3Client 9913<< Apply this % to total budget elements
4
Sheet5
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
B3B3=XLOOKUP(A3,Sheet6!A2:A6,Sheet6!B2:B6,100,0)
Cells with Data Validation
CellAllowCriteria
A3List=Sheet6!$A$2:$A$6


Hope that helps.
