    Question Help with dividing Cell into Equal Amounts?

    I work in manufacturing. Part of my job is to determine the number of pallets that are going to be required on each job and print sheets for these jobs to be put on the pallets in the warehouse. These are job specific labels to identify pallets in the warehouse.

    I have built a spreadsheet to figure out the total number on sheets that I need to print out. I think that I have things figured out except, I cannot figure out the formulas in Columns M, N, O, P. When the column L amount is more than 250, I need to split the printed amount in an equal amount in multiple envelopes, other than in column M. It also needs to have column I added to it. (i.e. Row 4 would be 2 envelopes. Row 5 would be 3 envelopes. Row 6 would be 4 envelopes).

    Any help would be appreciated!!!!

    Greg


    I have added roughly to the spreadsheet what I am trying to get with the splitting of the amount.

    Your reply says this: Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used...

    I don't know what I function names are to be used. I am someone who Excel formula might as well be Chinese. I don't understand them.

    Do I change the Title to something like: Help with dividing Cell into Equal Amounts?

    Grand.

    So, I'm not entirely clear what you want... and I promise not to write in Chinese... but to get things going:

    =ROUNDUP(L4/250,0)

    copied down??

    I'm not sure what you expected to see and where... so this is just an opening guess...

    It might also help if you added some manually calculated expected answers in the cells where you want them to appear.

    ... this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve.
    Just FYI, this means DON'T use function names - instead, say what you are trying to do. Your improved title is just fine.
