Hello,
I am creating a calculator to make cashup of our drawer easier at the end of the day; the premise is that when we cash up there should be only $800 left in the drawer, and the largest denominations should be removed first in order to make that happen (JENI).
I am currently using
Excel Formula:
INT(($D$2-SUMPRODUCT($A$2:$A2,F$2:F2))/$A3
which works 85% of the time, but as you can see from my demo on Google Drive it sometimes returns the incorrect value (that is, the sum of the money to be removed and kept does not match what it should).
Does anyone have any idea why this would be? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Ryan

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
F3: =MIN(B3,INT(ROUND($D$2-SUMPRODUCT($A$2:$A2,F$2:F2),2)/$A3))

(to avoid floating point rounding error)

"Where I'm from (Australia) we don't have 25c and 1c coin"
That is why I said Edit the coins; I noticed that after I posted the suggestion!
A post with XL2BB is much better than an image.
Your profile doesn't show Australia. Your profile could be updated to show Excel version.

Thanks for the feedback.
