I'm trying to reverse engineer hours based on a team with various %s totaling 100%. In the end, hours X each individuals known Rate will all sum to be $175,000. I have a program that does this but I'm trying to replicate in excel. First table below is completed in the program and every time I modify the %, it reallocates hours to total 100%. Second table is emptyAny help appreciated.
