    Fuel Consumption Calc

    SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




    thx for putting in the effort shg
    It's appreciated!




    I have a spreadsheet where the goal is to calculate the amount of fuel and fuel bottles to take hiking on trips with me

    H2= The amount of fuel in oz.'s I am taking on my trip
    I2= A calculation of how many 11oz. bottles to take
    J2= A calculation of how many 22oz. bottles to take
    K2= A calculation of how many 33 oz. bottles to take

    Right now i have:
    I2= =IF(H2<11.1,CEILING((H2/I4),1),0)
    J2= =IF(H2<22.1,CEILING((H2/J4),1),0)
    K2= =IF(H2>22,CEILING((H2/K4),1),0)
    I4= 11 (11oz. fuel bottle)
    J4= 22 (22oz. fuel bottle)
    K4= 33 (33oz. fuel bottle)

    The problem, besides the fact that I'm unure how to only count J2 if it's between the two other bottle sizes, is that I want it to cycle between the formuals to pick the smallest bottles possible not just isolating the one bottle size because the total ounces falls into my formula
    EXAMPLE:
    H2=37
    Therefore the formula in K2 takes full control and sets its value to '2'

    What I want it to do is
    EXAMPLE#1:
    if H2(the amount of fuel i'm taking) is 37oz. it'll show as following
    I2=1 (4oz. within this bottle)
    J2=0 (doesn't count because it's not the logical size to take)
    K2=1 (33oz. bottle full)

    EXAMPLE#2:
    if H2(the amount i'm taking) is 48oz. it'll show as following
    I2=0 (doesn't count because it's not the logical size to take)
    J2=1 (15oz. within this bottle)
    K2=1 (33oz. bottle full)
