Hello All!

Got a query which I hope someone can help with.. I have a spreadsheet that I need to create for work due to a new process. Essentially what I need help on is a formula which automatically breaks down the allocation (column B) into packs (columns D-M). Below is a shortened version of what we use - could be up to 100 packs per store and over 1000 stores for example.

[TABLE="width: 844"]

The maximum pack size is in column C and each pack should not exceed this value. If we look at the first 2 rows of data it would be broken down as per the below.
