I have an array of data A1:K43 (row 1 has the headers). Listed in A2:A43 are the warehouse #'s (different city for each). Each subsequent column (B-K) represents the annual shipping expense from that city to the warehouse city (on that row). (E.g. B2 would be from Dallas (B1) to warehouse 1 (A2). This repeats and column C is Atlanta e etc.

I am looking for a solution (in this example assumes I want the two best only) that would solve for the best two locations to ship from when two locations are used. This is typically a different solution than when using the small 1, small 2 formulas.

Is there a non-vba way to solve for this? If not, is there a vba solution that someone has they could share?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Tehre is a VBA solution to anything. So, yes to VBA.
No to formula as it may be too complicated.

You may want to present a sample of your worksheet (including solutions) as we are very lazy to make our own data to test on.

Search for Excel Jeanie HTML if you want to copy your data with ease onto the board.
