Hi,

I have calculated the par levels for weekly ordering and thats fine.
I am trying to figure out a formula which can calculate me the amount to be ordered on the basis of the closing stock on a Sunday night.

For example :

Par level for Anchovies is 35 pkts ( in cell c3)
Closing stock for Anchovies is 24 ( this is on another sheet called "average use")
It would be easy to calculate 35-24 , however the case size for Anchovies is 24 pcs in one box. I cannot order less.
So if the quantity goes below 35 pkts, what formula would give me the figure "1" ( which would mean 1 box) in cell D3 , where I want the "To order" quantity to be.
Makes sense.??

I have a whole list of about 100 items with different case sizes. It would be fantastic , if I could just feed the closing stock and it calculates me what to order, in the particular case size

ANy help would be highly appreciated

Many thanks

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.

You haven't told us that much about the layout and where the result is to go, but see if this is some use. If it is not what you want, post back with more details and consider posting some screen shots.

Hi Peter ,

Thanks very much for this, I was trying to post a screen shot, but my html maker is not working somehow. Yes I think you got my point and I will try your formula and see if it works

Many thanks

As far as htmlmaker is concerned, it is VBhtmlmaker, I used to use it without problems, I can see it in add ins , but it does not come up on the menu for some reason

1. Do you also have exactly the same sheet names? The names are shown just above the screen shots. The critical one is "average use" because that is referred to in the formulas.
2. Did you copy and paste my formulas from the board, or type them in manually? If typed, re-check carefully and/or cosider a copy/paste from the board.

I have the exactly the same names and I have copied pasted and double checked twice , everything matches , but still n/A?? Could it have anything to do with the fact that the par level 35 is a result of "=$W$1*'Average use'!H2". Should not make a diff , should it ??
