Morning everyone, hoping you can help.
We are trying to create a function to help us save money on materials. We want to know if we cut the box for product 987, which other products box would: 1. use the most of the remaining cardboard and 2. where more than one option will use the same amount of material, to prioritise the box for the more profitable product.
Data like the table below is in one sheet and the technician is entering product numbers into another sheet as he creates that's product box. Any ideas how we can achieve this? We've been thinking its a MAXIFS but we can't get it to work. HELP!!!
