Rounding Values to 100%

I extract data and pull in to graphs. Quite often, I have 99% or 101% with the data that I am assessing. How do I tell Excel to look at my values and round those that make the most sense so that when added together equal 100%. I spend so much time looking at these partial percentages determining which should be changed in order to equal a whole 100% chart.

Below is a snapshot of the table I use. I have another table that looks at movement and has 8 categories, this one really has issues with equaling 100%. For each formula, I round the percentages to 2 digits. Currently, I have the cell conditional formatted to turn red when it does not equal 100% so I can do the manual leg work to figure out which cell needs to change to total 100%. I would prefer a formula or even VBA do this for me.

Your approach has value.
It has value when the end goal is to calculate the distribution dollars and cents, and that those dollars and cents sum to the original amount to be distributed.
However, the OP's issue was a reporting issue of percentages and that the sum of those percentages equals 100%
