Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)

Hello everyone,

Hope I can make sense out of this one, might be easy one

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 200, align: center"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: center"]3[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]0[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]0[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]8[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]9[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]0[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]6[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]9[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]0[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]1[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]4[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]2[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]0[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]1[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]0[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
In column A I have series of number, and starting in B2 is formula =A2+INT(B1/3), merging previous value divided by 3 and value in the same row
What I would like to have, either in column C or fitted in column B are minimal requirements I need to merge for the last value of 1 or more..
As given example in table..
Detalied explanation of column C

C5 - last value of 1, need 0 more because merging previous values can achieve at least one in here (and also new value of C5 is not 3 and can't form 1 in C6)
C4 - have 1, need 2 more to merge
C3 - have 6, need 0 to merge
C2 - not needed since bottom rows fulfill requirements
C1 - not needed since bottom rows fulfill requirements

Thank you
