    Automatic calculation for multiple $ denominations in 1 cell

    I am pretty new to using excel. I am trying to create a spreadsheet for my finances. I am going to make a budget and I am planning on going to the bank each week and taking out a certain amount of bills. For example if my Gas is $75, I will need to take out 3-$20's, 1-$10 and 1-$5 to make up the $75. I want to put these amounts next to the total amount of the bill and then figure out a way to have the excel automatically calculate the column to show me at the end of the budget how many $20's, $10's and $5's I will need to take out. Is there a way to create an equation that can differentiate the different denominations like this?

    Re: Automatic calculation for multiple $ denominations in 1 cell

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
