Use the Random Numbers with Fixed Sum submission from the File Exchange.

yes i have tried using that , but by calling the function using the values required in my code. it is returning all the 8 values same like this

2.5000

2.5000

2.5000

2.5000

2.5000

2.5000

2.5000

2.5000

now i am stuck with this of part in my coding

I read your question a bit more closely.

Of course, there is only one way to have 8 numbers that sum to 20, if the max is 2.5, which is to have all the numbers equal 2.5.

So, this function has returned the correct and only answer.
