Default calculate blocks contained in a larger piece of wood

I am trying to set up an Excel spreadsheet to calculate how many pieces of
wood I can cut from a larger piece of wood and what would be the dimensions
of the remaining wood, if any. For example; how many pieces of wood
measuring 1.5" square x 2" length can be cut from a board that is 4.75" wide
x 7" length x 3.5" thick and what are the dimensions of any remaining wood.

I would like to be able to input the overall dimensions of a piece of lumber
and the desired dimensions of the blocks to be cut from it.

I'm having trouble coming up with a solution and being a woodworker and not
a programmer, I'm not sure if Excel can be used for my problem.

Any and all help is gratefully appreciated
