Normally there are upto 18000 rows but,
Using the above example where ColA is units and ColB is how many units in a carton, without having the formula (ColA/ColB) in ColC and then adding it up at the bottom.

I wish to have the total amount of cartons in one formula is this possible?

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Not sure if I follow, but try something along the lines of
=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A4,1/B1:B4)

adjusted for your range. where is a
=sumquotient function when you need it?

Hi Brett,

try:

=SUM(ROUNDUP(A1:A15/B1:B15,0))

array entered.

EDIT: or following IML's sumproduct route:

=SUMPRODUCT((ROUNDUP(A1:A15/B1:B15,0)))

paddy, that is a Totally Awesome solution - if you don't mind being complimented by the Antichrist. To pull that one out shows that you have formidable powers!

Thanks Guys I need to brush up on my formula skills, I have used =SUMPRODUCT(A3:A17/B3:B17)
if I use the round up it gives me about 6 extra ctns but would be ideal if I wanted to count a part carton as a whole carton.

Thanks Guys

Ok this now brings me to my problem I think I need a sumif somewhere in here but here goes.

Ok I need to get the total number of ctns for example john.
using the formula before to get the ctns and then adding the sum of the cartons to the formula of the units but only for John (I know im just babbling but you get my point)
Any Ideas??

Brett,

It's

=SUMPRODUCT(($A$3:$A$17="john")*($B$3:$B$17/$C$3:$C$17))

You can have "john" in a cell of its own and use that cell in the formula.

Correct me if im wrong its probably my fault for explaining it wrong but in the end the one formula i want is basically
Sum of the Cartons (eg with John as the Name)
Sum of the units / Carton qty in ColD
Sum of both of the above formulas for a name eg John.

the answer for the above example should be
40041.10417


Thanks
