    Compair quantities and lengths

    rebar estimating:
    I have a column with quantities that vary, and a column of lengths that vary:
    qty1.JPG

    I would like to find the best sequence for the lengths to be cut from a 40-00 bar.
    Example:

    4 x 17-04 and 4 x 15-04 and 4 x 7-00 = 4 x 38-08 with 0-04 left of 40-0 bars leaving:

    qty2.JPG

    then again until quantities of lengths cannot fit any longer.

    This takes a lot of time to do this manually. I can export the information to excel, but the math coding is too much for me.
    it doesn't have to be pretty i just need to be able to get the combinations to the person who will do the cutting
