    calculating number of bars to use but also stating the remainder

    Hi Guys sorry about the naming of this
    but i rele havnt got a clue what this is that im asking for
    anyone know if there is any where that i can get help on the naming of threads???


    i need some simple formula for this

    bar lengths are 5600
    i have Quantitys and a cell with the total
    length

    i need to be able
    to put in the length to be cut off
    and then the ammount that i want.

    so say i have 5 bars
    with a total of 28000

    and i need 7 lengths of 2000
    i need to have a formula to see
    how many full bars are needed
    and what i will have left

    so i will have 1600 x 3
    and 3600 x 1

    using 4 bars

    any ideas
    this could also be done in a form
    I dont like to use code i dont understand
    it makes it hard to use in other situations
    so please try to be as clear and patent as possible with me

    Criticism is welcomed
