You must enter the beneficiary percentage. You can figure that out by the dollars received divided by the total dollars distributed.

For example: Received $100 and the total to everybody is $1,000 then 100 divided by 1000 is 10% for that person.

Thank you for reply.  The question was understood and the math easily managed, what i did not understand was how to enter how to enter % value in error check.  By trial and error learned to right click on the cell and select "override" to be able to make the entry.  Thanks again.
