Split cell numbers into equal pre quantities and whatevers left...

Welcome to the forum!

Your description of what you want lacks clarity. What do you expect the output to look like? Are you going to tell Excel which number to split by, or is Excel expected to do that itself? If the latter, what is the logic?

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

There will be MANY ways to do this. here's one. Assumes the original number is in A1, A2, etc,. In B1, copied across and down, use:

=MAX(0,IF($A1-55*COLUMNS($A:A)>0,55,$A1-55*(COLUMNS($A:A)-1)))

Just change all 3 of the 55s to 110s and it should be fine.

You're welcome and thanks for the Rep.
