Shipping calulator

Hi,

 

Is it possible to write a formula that would indicate the size of the package?

Example:

250 pieces = 1 carton "a"

500 pieces = 2 cartons "a"

370 pieces = 1 carton "a" and 1 carton "b"

240 pieces = 2 cartons "b"

 

I have 811 pieces in my order and I would like BI to indicate what sizes of packages to use (in this case, 3x carton "a" and 1x carton "b")

 

carton "a" = 250 pieces

carton "b" = 120 pieces

 

Is it possible?

  • Anonymous , Try a measure  or column like

     

    column  =

    Quotient([Value],250) & "Carton a" & Quotient(Mod([Value],250),120) & "Carton b"

     

    Measure  =

    var _val = sum(Table[Value])

    return

    Quotient(_val ,250) & "Carton a" & Quotient(Mod(_val ,250),120) & "Carton b"
