Grouping Items in Excel...!

Hi All,

 

I have a Requirement to group Items based on Volume and all Groups should have approximately equal Volume of Items.

 Example:-

We have Item name and No of Items and we want to divide Items in to Groups.

Based on the sum of all the groups

Group1 :- 100000 items Total Group2 :- 10000 Total Group 3:- 9000 Total Group 4:- 6580 Total Group 5:- 7000 

In this example , Group 1 has only one item(Item 8) since it has high volume.Same case for group 2 and group 3.We distributed remaining items to group 4 and group 5.

 

Note : As per our requirement , we can split items to multiple groups. One item can belong to only 1 group. A group can have multiple items.We understand that equal distribution may  not be possible but we are looking for formula which distributes the items best possible.

 

   Expected Output
Item NameNo of Items Group1Group2Group3Group4Group5
Item 110 100000100009000102000
Item 220    201000
Item 3500    5003000
Item 41000    200 
Item 5200    300 
Item 6300    5000 
Item 710000    100 
Item 8100000    400 
Item 95000    50 
Item 103000      
Item 11100      
Item 12400      
Item 139000      
Item 1450      
Item 152000
