Default Generating a cut list

I have to cut PVC pipe for various jobs. These PVC pipes come in a 10 ft
length. I am trying to maximize the cuts and generate less scrap. i.e.
The first column "A" is Qty, "B" is length (inches) and "C" is sum. Can I
put this in a look up table?? and have it pick lengths "B" not to exceed 10
feet (120 inches) and continue on until all lengths are satisfied? This
particular job requires 5 10 ft pieces, with about 5 feet scrap.

A B C
