    Looking for the right approach

    Hello,

    I'm trying to make some kind of tool for the people in my warehouse to combine deliveries in 1 pickrun.
    So in this case there are several criteria which have to be followed.

    - First a sorting has to be done in order types. The first 2 digits define the order type. Should I do this with pivot tables? Problem is that a delivery can have more lines but has to stay together.
    - The second criteria is to combine deliveries to a maximum of 1.5 m3 WITH the best possible outcome of article overlap. This is mainly where I dont know how to approach this project in the best way.

    Thanks in advance,
    Tim

    Hi,

    Can you provide a "mock-up" of an example of what you are looking for?

    31164486 35689710 38494994
    31258963 35124578 38919444
    31254941 35126987 38496494
    31254896 35265983 38456978
    31258949 35878934 38161941

    In this case out of the data 3 pickruns are retrieved based on criteria 1: ordertype (first 2 digits) and criteria 2: max 1.5 m3 in volume.

    Hi,

    I am a little confused.
    I can't seem to find any of the numbers shown in your Post #3 in column A oif your spreadsheet.
    Am I missing something?

    Regards

    Hi,

    Unfortunately this doesn't help.
    Based on the information in your Post #3, I have no idea why these particular numbers were chosen.
    Can you re-do it using actual numbers (i.e. values) from column A in your spreadsheet?

    Regards
