i'm working on a shipping log that i do now by hand and would like to
automate if possible. every load equals 1,000 and alot of the loads are split
loads.

a b c d e
1 date amount previous current total
2 3/10 2053 1000
3 1000
4 53
5 3/11 1019 53 947 1000
6 72
7 3/12 3000 72 928 1000
8 1000
9 1000
10 72

in this example it shows what i need to equal 1,000 and if there's over
1,000 left of that run i'd like the next line to show 1,000 and so on until i
can't make a full load of 1,000.

hope this sounds right
thanks

What is the sequence of events? You say you want to automate this. What
comes first? Detail what you enter and then what you want Excel to do (the
automate part). Then what happens next? The next date row maybe?
In short, Excel is dumb and it needs to know what is the trigger to make it
automate something. Maybe any entry in Column B? It might help if you
provide the series of steps you must do when you do this manually. Remember
that you are talking to people who know nothing about what you have or want
to have. HTH Otto

what i'm doing here is trying to keep track of how many full truck loads i can ship before i run out of product that was ran on a certain day. then the next load will be a split load.

ex: on 3/10 we ran 2053 cases, that allows me to ship 2 full loads of that
days run leaving 53 cases left,
on 3/11 we run 1019 so in order to ship a full load of 1,000 i'll need the
53 cases left over from 3/10 plus 947 caes from 3/11 to equal 1000. then it
shows a balance of 72 let over from 3/11

hope this sounds better

You didn't say anything about what Excel should/could use as the trigger to
fire the automation. For now I'll assume it's any numerical entry made in
Column B below row 1. Excel can do lots for you with this but it must be
told every little detail so I have a question.
Question: Is every entry in Column B ALWAYS 1000 or greater? If not, and
the sum of that entry and the "leftover" (53 in your 3/10 example) is less
than 1000, what do you want to happen?
Another question: What version of Excel are you using? Otto

John, that's almost right on except is it possible for column D to show what
is to make up the 1,000?

example would be that i have 999 left over from 3/15 so on 3/16 i'd start
out with 999 in column C and column D should show that i need 1 from 3/16 to
equal 1,000

the Balance column.
I think this is what you want in Column D.

John,

that's exactly what i'm looking for, i just have 1 question though.

don't know if i'll explain it right but i'll give it a try.

the formulas work great except when the results are more then two.

example, in the attachment you sent the leftover from C14 and F14
transfered down to C18 like it should, but since there is more than
1 result under the 3/18/2010 entry the final result C21 and F21
dosen't transfer, but if the final balance ended at C19 it will transfer down.

hope it doesn't sound to confussing.

thanks

Sorry, i totally missed your reply.

This is a long post showing the way i do it now.

right now my manual log looks nothing like what i'm trying to pull off with
this.
the way it looks if i want to keep using the example in my first post i'll
have to add yet another column incase
i run into a 3 split load.

right now all i do is take the production and break it down in to loads.

an example would be like this, going off the production log

Production log
Date Lot# Amount
2/8/10 123 450
2/9/10 124 200
2/10/10 125 1250
2/14/10 126 1580
2/15/10 127 500
2/16/10 128 3175

now going off the production log above my shipping log as of now looks like
this.

Shipping Log

Load # Date Lot # Amount
shipped
1 2/16/10 123 450
124 200
125 350
2 2/18/10 125 900
126 100
3 2/19/10 126 1000
4 2/21/10 126 480
5 127 500
128 20
6 2/22/10 128 1000
7 2/22/10 128 1000
8 2/22/10 128 1000
9 128 155

sorry for all the grief i'm causing, i think i'm making it more complicated
then necessary.
I'm just trying to come up with something that i can just type in one number
and it'll do the rest.

I'm not cometed to anything yet, so if you guys can come up with something
that's simple and sweet i'm all for it.

Thanks

PS. if this is to much trouble i understand, no hard feelings.

7 3/12 3000 72 928 1000
8 1000
9 1000
10 72

in this example it shows what i need to equal 1,000 and if there's over
1,000 left of that run i'd like the next line to show 1,000 and so on
until i
can't make a full load of 1,000.

hope this sounds right
thanks

Whatever any of us come up with, if it's a macro, will simply be a set of
instructions telling Excel what to do in any given situation. That last
part "in any given situation" puts the onus on you. In short, this means
that you MUST clearly define what the different situations are and clearly
define what you want Excel to do in each situation. Things like "you enter
a number less than, equal to, greater than, some value, in some column"
(what column?) Remember that Excel is dumb and has no idea what you want
to happen in each different situation. So you need to decide what all the
possibilities are and what you want to happen for each. HTH Otto

Sorry, i totally missed your reply.

This is a long post showing the way i do it now.

right now my manual log looks nothing like what i'm trying to pull off
with
this.
the way it looks if i want to keep using the example in my first post i'll
have to add yet another column incase
i run into a 3 split load.

right now all i do is take the production and break it down in to loads.

an example would be like this, going off the production log

Production log
Date Lot# Amount
2/8/10 123 450
2/9/10 124 200
2/10/10 125 1250
2/14/10 126 1580
2/15/10 127 500
2/16/10 128 3175

now going off the production log above my shipping log as of now looks
like
this.

Shipping Log

Load # Date Lot # Amount
shipped
1 2/16/10 123 450
124 200
125 350
2 2/18/10 125 900
126 100
3 2/19/10 126 1000
4 2/21/10 126 480
5 127 500
128 20
6 2/22/10 128 1000
7 2/22/10 128 1000
8 2/22/10 128 1000
9 128 155

sorry for all the grief i'm causing, i think i'm making it more
complicated
then necessary.
I'm just trying to come up with something that i can just type in one
number
and it'll do the rest.

I'm not cometed to anything yet, so if you guys can come up with something
that's simple and sweet i'm all for it.

Thanks

PS. if this is to much trouble i understand, no hard feelings.

sorry it took so long to respond, it's hard to type what i'm thinking.

i think i've covered all the bases but wrote it on the actual sheet i'm
using and would like to post it.

what program can i use to upload it here.

You shouldn't post it here. No one will read it. Instead send it to me via
email. My email is . Remove the "extra" from
this email. Identify yourself as Bowmanator so that I can look back at your
posts. Otto
