Default Excel Help - Market Framing

Hi Guys,
I got a problem with re-adjusting markets to take scratchings into account.

It seemed so easy, but when I sat down to do it I realised I had not clue one what I was doing. I went to an Excel help site, but realised it would be easier to explain to the racing mob.

What I want to do is write a template for up to 20 horses (the max I expect to encounter), so Column A = TAB No, Col B = Original Market, Col C = Adjusted Market after Scratchings.

My first problem was establishing the market percentage of Col A.
It went something like - =SUM(100/B1+100/B2+100/B3+100/B4+.....100/B20) which apart from being incredibly cumbersome doesn't take blank cells into account and there returns a #Div/0! error. So I started playing around with conditional functions and, and..... I've got a headache....

Surely one of you very charitable souls can point me in the right direction, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Thanks,
Den
