deducting same amount from cells containing various values

[Paul Rush]

Help
I am trying to reduce a total in divisions of 500 to give me a total for each 500 reached and leave a remainder

ie

231
456
322
124
220

= 1353
/500 = 2

remain =353

any help please?

If you enter the formula "=MOD(1353,500)" into a cell, the result will be
353.

Hi Paul,

assuming the figures are on a1:a6 and the sum on A7

on C7 use
=int(a7/500)

for the remain use
=((a7/500-int(a7/500))*a7)/(a7/500)

hth
