Formula/VBA Help
Please assist me in below situation
In A column, I have a Quantity which are required to fill "X" store, but this should be fetch from other Stores lets say 1,2,3,4,5,6
Condition is if my store #1 has less qty than what I need in A column for store X, then it should return zero (should not give anything), and run the logic in next column with different store.
But if Quantity in Store 1 is greater than what is required for Store X, then it should check the difference and assigned the quantities which is required by X store (nothing more).
IF store x need 50 qty but store 1 only able to fulfil 40 then for remaining 10 quantities it will check in next store and so on.
Note: if store 1 has 151 quantity and can fulfil required 50 quantity for X store then it will only give 50 not 51, and when formula move to anotehr colum then it should come as 0, cause required quantity is already fulfilled by previous stores.
sherikhan88 Quite some logic but I think I got it. See attached. It's an ugly formula and probably can be optimized.

sherikhan88 Don't think you need to "Excess" columns, by the way. And the logic you want to apply seems to cause trouble. You say that if Store1 doesn't have enough on hand, it should be skipped, with the same logic applied to the following stores.
Suppose the quantity of the first order would be 101, rather than 47, then none of the stores would be selected. Wouldn't it make more sense to say that store 1 delivers 47, store2 50 and store 3 the remaining 4. Or, store 3 delivers all of their 92 items and store 1 delivers 9 more (or any other combination of stores for that matter).
Anyhow, the attached file does what you ask for, unless I completely misunderstood. Note that I changed the formulae in the "Excess" columns to something without IF, hoping you find it useful.
- Hi Riny,
first of all thank you so much to respond to my query and giving your valuable time.
"Wouldn't it make more sense to say that store 1 delivers 47, store2 50 and store 3 the remaining 4" yes this is what i need.
I don't need excess column you are right, I just put it there to see what is the excess quantity in 1 to 6 stores from Column A ( which is required in Store X).
So Store X need certian qty which is mentioned in column A which has to be fulfilled from rest of 6 stores. Issue which i cannot able to solve is, if my fulfilment store will only contribute if they have extra quantity with them ( greater than A column).
Lets Say
1) Store X need 48 qty. My fulfilment store 1,2,3---- has 48,50,100,110 qty, then formula should check what is the qty required by store x and then it started to go to every store and see if its more or less then required qty. then if its less, system will skip that store, if its more then it will metch the max quantity it can fetch to fulfil the requirement but not more then the requirement.
