    Macro help to solve a minmal container calculation

    Hi,

    I need to find a way to find out the least number of shipping containers I need to transfer a group of boxes with different dimensions. For example,


    A container can hold 40 cubic feet, and I have 100 small size boxes (2 cubic feet), 100 Medium (4 cubic feet)), and 100 Large (8 cubic feet). Assuming I can mix and match, What is the minimum number of containers I need to transport all 300 boxes?

    I tried to use the solver, but the problem is it takes the aggregate sum in calculator, forgetting the fact that you can't split a box in two containers.

    I appreciate on any thoughts...

    Thanks,

    Lumei

    You have not provided enough information

    Please provide all the dimensions. Volumes alone does not help.
