I want to use a function to determine how many bonus tickets I should give
out at the end of each month. One (1) ticket for every three (3) apples sold.
For example, here is a table:

DATE #APPLES SOLD BONUS TICKETS
JAN 1 0
FEB 3 1

MAR 6 2
APR 8 2
MAY 9 3
JUN 12 4
JUL 15 5


PLEASE HELP!

Say your no of Apples sold start in cell B2

In B3 type

With your data in A1:C13

In B2 enter the formula:

=INT(A2/3)

In B3:

=B2+INT(A3/3)

and drag down on the fill handle

Doh! I meant of course:

=INT(B2/3)

and:

=C2+INT(C3/3)

So much for being able to write formulas without trying them in the
spreadsheet!
