Solving for (constant/unknown=given value) where I give the desired output of a ratio and get the initial value needed.

  • Excel Version Office 365 ver. 2603 build 19822.20182 click-to-run
  • Excel Environment Windows desktop
  • Your Knowledge Level Haven't touched excel in decades
  • I have a formula where I input a value and it splits it in 3 ratios (0.1:50:50). D26 has the formula (=$A$1/100.1) to get the value of one part. B1-3 have the ratios 0.1, 50, and 50. C1-3 have the formulae (B1-3*$D$26) to get the shares of A1 by each ratio.
  • I'm looking for a formula where I can input a desired share amount for any of the ratios and get the initial value needed to produce that share

EDIT: I know I'm probably waayyyyyyy overthinking this, but its driving me crazy

EDIT2: Example - An A1 value of 500 gives: a D26 of 4.995005, and C1-3 of 0.4995, 249.7502 and 249.7502.

I want to, for example, input a C1 of 500 and get the A1 required to get that. Which, plugging-and-chugging my example, would be 500500
