Equal

Values which you enter in parent cells are distributed equally to their children.

Equal allocation: #E[value]:

A value which you enter in a parent cell replaces the existing value and is distributed equally amongst the children.

Example:

A parent cell has three children. You write 12 to the parent cell with equal allocation. The value of each child cell becomes 4.

Equal alteration: &E[value]:

A value which you enter in a parent cell is distributed equally amongst the child cells and added to the existing value.

Example:

The value of the parent cell is 12. There are three child cells, each with a value of 4. You write 12 to the parent cell with equal alteration. 12 is distributed equally to each child and added to the existing value. The value of each child cell becomes 8. The value of the parent cell becomes 24.
