how do you divide the average of a number into 3 different cells.
i am trying to do a stock and order for work. i have to divide the amount of
sales by the quantity of units in a case to come up with ( cases required to order). i have done that but i need to average that total into to three cells. e.g 12 = 4 4 4, 11 = 4 4 3 |

how do you divide the average of a number into 3 different cells.
Assuming you want the last column to be the "catch" column, that is it will either be higher or lower than the other two columns by one if the number is not divisible by three evenly you can try the following: Code: -------------------- Row Col A Col B Col C Col D 11 11 =MROUND(A11,3)/3 =MROUND(A11,3)/3 =MROUND(A11,3)/3-(MROUND(A11,3)-A11) 12 12 =MROUND(A12,3)/3 =MROUND(A12,3)/3 =MROUND(A12,3)/3-(MROUND(A12,3)-A12) 13 13 =MROUND(A13,3)/3 =MROUND(A13,3)/3 =MROUND(A13,3)/3-(MROUND(A13,3)-A13) -------------------- -- Excelenator ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excelenator's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36768 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564899 |

You want to split or spread if A5 = 12 then B5 = roundup(a5/3,0) c5 = roundup(a5/3,0) d5 = a5-b5-c5 This gives odd result for 10, ie 4,4,2 and for 9 result is 3,3,3 If this is acceptable otherwise change c5 = roundup((a5-b5)/2,0) not 10 produces 4,3,3 -- Steve (3) |
