number of items fit into item
can any one think of a formula to find out how many items will fit in to a
given Dimension, that is I have a item that is so many width*height*depth into a location of width*height*depth ex 10*10*10 into a item of 10*10*10 = 1 |

Seems like you would just multiply to compute the respective volumes, and
then divide. So what's the catch? "Dreamstar_1961" wrote: can any one think of a formula to find out how many items will fit in to a given Dimension, that is I have a item that is so many width*height*depth into a location of width*height*depth ex 10*10*10 into a item of 10*10*10 = 1 |

number of items fit into item
tryed that but dos't seem to be working, what this is for is a fit size, that
is we have a number of location of a given size, I need a formula that when we put the size of the part in it will show how many will fit in a given location "andy62" wrote: Seems like you would just multiply to compute the respective volumes, and then divide.

Can you provide an example of what you mean? Include some data, and point
out what is making it so tricky.

number of items fit into item
what I'm trying to get is if item is say 28*13*14 and the value of the item
it's to go into is 29*14*15 then what will fit is 1, but if the item is 1*1*1 then the answer is 1000's what I'm after is the formula to work out the number, this is being used for a fit size test.

number of items fit into item
Let me know if this works:
=INT(A2/A3)*INT(B2/B3)*INT(C2/C3) Where the numerators are the width/height/depth of the available space ("Dimension" from your first note) and the denominators are for the given part/item.

number of items fit into item
that worked but is there a way to put it in that test all ways, I can't be
sure that when the part is Measured that it will be Measured in relation to the location, this is for a work sheet for a warehouse work group where there are 12 locations, all different sizes, the size will be put on one place and it's to test to see which location will be best for the location, I looked at the chitest to see if that would work Let me know if this works: =INT(A2/A3)*INT(B2/B3)*INT(C2/C3) Where the numerators are the width/height/depth of the available space ("Dimension" from your first note) and the denominators are for the given part/item.

number of items fit into item
If I understand correctly, you're saying the formula works but you want it to
be more flexible in case the part might fit more efficiently with a different orientation. To accomplish this, I would use the same formula as before but with two changes: - Check each of the six possible configurations instead of just one - Use the MAX function to find which of the six configurations is the best Here's what I mean: =MAX(INT(A2/A3)*INT(B2/B3)*INT(C2/C3),INT(A2/A3)*INT(B2/C3)*INT(C2/B3),INT(A2/B3)*INT(B2/A3)*INT(C2/C3),etc.) Let me know if we've got it.

number of items fit into item
Hi. In Operational Research projects, optimal "packing" is probably one of
the hardest to do. I really don't think you will find a "Formula" to do this. You might work out a formula if you make a lot of assumptions though. For example, when testing an algorithm, you might want to check that it can pack all 18 items into a 5*5*5 box. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ConwayPuzzle.html As you can see, a simple Formula will probably not work. -- HTH :) Dana DeLouis Windows XP & Office 2007 "Dreamstar_1961" wrote in message ... what I'm trying to get is if item is say 28*13*14 and the value of the item it's to go into is 29*14*15 then what will fit is 1, but if the item is 1*1*1 then the answer is 1000's what I'm after is the formula to work out the number, this is being used for a fit size test.
