The present disclosure includes apparatuses, methods, and systems for balancing data in memory. An embodiment includes a memory having a group of memory cells, wherein each respective memory cell is programmable to one of three possible data states, and circuitry to balance data programmed to the group between the three possible data states by determining whether the data programmed to the group is balanced for any one of the three possible data states, and upon determining the data programmed to the group is not balanced for any one of the three possible data states apply a rotational mapping algorithm to the data programmed to the group until the data is balanced for any one of the three possible data states and apply a Knuth algorithm to the data of the group programmed to the two of the three possible data states that were not balanced by the rotational mapping algorithm.
