Hi, I want to divide a total by different rows with different weights. I've accomplished this somewhat with the formula below. However, I need each row to total the top number for "WEEK 1 REG". Project 3 should return a zero since the box for that week is unchecked, so I want the 120 split by the other two rows. My weights…
