Could you please explain in bit more details, better on sample file, why ID;s in red are close to 90 and other are not. And would you like to select or to highlight?

Hello Sergei,
Thanks for your reply. I am sorry there might be confusion about the sample ID. Actually, it should be the case ID. For instance, there are 18 samples in case 21-070301-0001. My goal is to select the cases out with the sum of their total number of samples closest to 90 since we are templating the samples into a 96-well microplate (exclude 6 controls).
I would like to create a new list with the selected ones if possible.
Hope it'll make the request clearer.
Thanks.
