How to calculate limit on Mortgage interest on Sch A (1,000,000), when it is also used on F.8829 for Sch C?

I am not sure how to connect the mortgage interest on Sch A and F. 8829.  
I think I first should enter the total mortgage interest on on the home office screen (under Indirect Expenses, Mortgage interest, without any adjustments), and then go to the Sch A screen and enter the info on the Interest - Excess Mortgage Interest -screen.  On this screen I should choose Form 2 -Business Use of Home.
Any input is appreciated

Did you see the NOTE in the Schedule A input area?

NOTE: Mortgage related deductions entered below should NOT be entered elsewhere. If using this input section, remove mortgage related deductions from the regular interest section of this screen (above), from the business use of home screen , and from any vacation homes or owner occupied rentals (Sch E screen).
