Hello all and Happy Holidays,

You can probably add this to the crazy question list.

Does anyone have a trick up their sleeve to identify if the order quantity of order points are divisible by the package size qty. We have a lot of broken values and I am just trying to find a broad brush way to find these errors.

Example 1: Order points are 20 / 60 and the Package size is 15 - When our inventory reaches 20 we would order 60. The pack qty is 15. (60 is divisible by 15) The answer I would like to appear for this scenario is YES.
Example 2: Order points are 20 / 50 and the Package size is 15 - When our inventory reaches 20 we would order 50. The pack qty is 15. (50 is not divisible by 15) The answer I would like to appear for this scenario is NO.

Please let me know if I am just completely out of my mind.

Thank you
Bob

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Use the MOD() formula.
for 20/60, the formula would be =MOD(60,20)=0, this will result in TRUE
for 20/50 the formula would be =MOD(50,20)=0, this will result in FALSE.

@bobgrand ,
my first suggestion was not correct. I read the question poorly.
Here is a corrected mini worksheet of what I was thinking you should do:

D2:D10D2=IF(MOD(B2,C2)=0,"Yes","No")
E2:E10E2=FORMULATEXT(D2)
