Hi Folks,
I have this unique situation and hoping someone will be able to help me.
on row1 (b/w col B to J) I have:
7/6/2008;07/13/08;07/20/08;07/27/08;08/03/08;08/10/08;08/17/08;08/24/08;08/31/08
now if I have a number in row 2 which is just associated to the month of July. That # is 169. How can I write a formula or is there a way to divide this # and solve two problems:
1) it should be divisible by 4 as you can see there are only four weeks, so it spread out just under July and it should be evenly spread as much as possible without any decimals.
So for example if it can be spread as (under July):
42; 42; 42; 43
and if there is number falls under the month which has five weeks, it should be evenly divided by 5 but in a way that I just have a whole number and no decimal.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
without applying logic for calculating whether it is a 4 or 5 week month one solution would be as follows

assume your number is in B2 then

for a 4 week month, lets put the values in C1, C2, C3, C4,

C1 = INT($B$2/4)
C2 = INT($B$2/4)
C3 = INT($B$2/4)
C4 = $B$2 - SUM(C1:C3)

for a 5 week month, you would divide by 5

C1 = INT($B$2/5)
C2 = INT($B$2/5)
C3 = INT($B$2/5)
C4 = INT($B$2/5)
C5 = $B$2 - SUM(C1:C4)
