It depends on what you're trying to achieve.

If each zip code is a stand-alone route delivered by separate drivers, then
the previously posted formulas are accurate.

BUT...
IF those 3 routes represent 1 driver's activity
AND...you want to calculate how many bundles and singles that driver needs
in total.
THEN...apply the formulas to the total of 7028

You'll get 117 bundles and 8 singles.

Does that help?

Hello,
I've run into a problem I didn't forsee. That is, when the total count of
singles exceeds the bundle size, I don't know what to do. Here's my example
I made from using your formulas:

There are 60 newspapers to a bundle.

A B C D
COUNT ZIP Bundles Singles
2423 32204 40 23
3355 32221 55 55
1250 32234 20 50
115 128
TOTAL

I've ended up with 115 bundles and 128 singles.
The desired result is 117 bundles and 8 singles and I don't know how to make
that happen in cells C6 and D6.

I really appreciate the help, Thanks,

Hello again,

I would make a simple sheet showing a count of newspapers to our delivery
drivers. They are making mistakes calculating complete and partial bundles
in their head.

They are used to seeing their total newspaper count for the day expressed as
X bundles and X singles. For instance, if the diver has 2678 newspapers and
they come bundled 60 papers to each bundle, that's 44 bundles and 38 singles.

My sheet looks like this so far:

A
1 2678 (total papers)
2 60 (bundle count)
3 44.6333 (bundles)

I would like it to look like below but can't seem to break out the partial
bundle count (the singles) into another cell.

A
1 2678 (total papers)
2 60 (bundle count)
3 44 (bundles)
4 38 (singles) <~ 60 X .6333 rounded up

Does anyone has a soluotion for this one?

Much obliged,
Michael
