Calculate TOTAL(S) to display 2 different SUMs with excess of the second to add to first

Hello,

I'm looking for a formula to do the following, and have no idea how.

I have 3 main columns, A, B and C. Under each column I have 2 further columns, Boxes and Packs. One box contains 30 packs.

Under A I have 3 boxes and 15 packs. Under B I have 1 box and 25 packs. Under C I have 4 boxes and 5 packs.

At the end I have total, which I'd like to say how many full boxes I have and how many packs that do not make up a full box. Does that make sense?

So 3 boxes + 1 box + 4 boxes = 8...easy enough.

15 packs + 25 packs + 5 packs = 45 packs = 1 box and 15 packs.

This brings the total boxes to 9.

I'd like excel to display 9 boxes and 15 packs, no idea how to do this. Can be in 2 columns.

Does this make sense? Can anyone help?

Thanks!

It's never easy to find the right words!!

Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? However, please give us an indication of the approximate number of rows of data you want the solution to work with (100, 1000, 100,000 or whatever). Please DO NOT attach a picture of an Excel sheet (I do not have the patience to re-type any/all your stuff before starting).

1. It does NOT have to be your real sheet - mock up a SAMPLE if you need to. But not 1000's of rows!!! It makes manual checking so tedious. Whatever you do... make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

2. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. For example, don't show text in a column if it's really a number. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

3. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually). To be honest, I am not interested in seeing a non-working formula... or a pile of blank cells. However, I am very interested in seeing your EXPECTED results in their EXPECTED location.

4. Try not to use merged cells. They cause lots of problems and are DEFINITELY best avoided!

H5:
=IF($A5="","",SUMIF($B$4:$G$4,"*box*",B5:G5)+INT(SUMIF(B4:$G$4,"*Pack*",B5:G5)/30))

I5:
=IF($A5="","",MOD(SUMIF(B4:$G$4,"*Pack*",B5:G5),30))

You're welcome.
