Default Bar Cutting Optimization????


Hello, can anyone help me please? I am trying to create a worksheet from
Excel that will allow me to optimize bar cutting lengths for example. I
will have metal bars of a standard length and will need to cut various
different lengths from this. Once i imput my smaller cut lengths and
quantities of each i want the worksheet to be able to work out how many
total bars i need to order of standard length and if possible identify
which smaller bits need to be cut ffom the bigger bits. It might seem a
bit difficult to comprehend but anyone who has used a bar cutting
optimizer will understand my query! If anyone has already set up such a
worksheet i would be most grateful if they could either let me know how
i can get it or how to create one. Thanks
