What function to use?

[TRYIN]

I want to use a function to determine how many bonus tickets I should give
out at the end of each month. One (1) ticket for every three (3) apples sold.
For example, here is a table:

DATE #APPLES SOLD BONUS TICKETS
JAN 1 0
FEB 3 1

MAR 6 2
APR 8 2
MAY 9 3
JUN 12 4
JUL 15 5


PLEASE HELP!

Hi,

You could try this...

Say your no of Apples sold start in cell B2

In B3 type

=B2/3
And then copy down as far as you need

Hoep this helps,

Gav.

I'm sorry I forgot to say that the bonus tickets are cumulative by each month.
DATE #APPLES SOLD BONUS TICKETS (cumulative) REP Name
jan 2 0 JOHN
feb 3 1 JOHN
mar 7 3 JOHN
apr 5 4 JOHN
may 12 8 JOHN
jun 14 12 JOHN
jul 19 18 JOHN
aug 21 25 JOHN
sep 1 25 JOHN

=INT(<number of apples sold>/3)

With your data in A1:C13

In B2 enter the formula:

=INT(A2/3)

In B3:

=B2+INT(A3/3)

and drag down on the fill handle

In C2 and copy down:

=C1 + int(B2/3)

 

[Sandy Mann]

Doh! I meant of course:

=INT(B2/3)

and:

=C2+INT(C3/3)

So much for being able to write formulas without trying them in the
spreadsheet!
