If then statements

[David Bryant]

I have what to me seems like a difficult task. I am creating a workbook that
will convert the number of 3 foot panels needed on the gable end of a
building when given roof pitch, wall height, width and length. I am able to
do everything but this; on the width of the builoding it will increase the
panels in length every three feet. I want excell to calculate the # of panels
needed and at what length. If you have any Ideas please email me at
(e-mail address removed).

If the width of the building in feet is in A1, then try:

=INT(A1/3)+1

unless I'm missing something from your description.

Not so much. I want it to return the number of panels needed at a certain
length. Like on an amortization schedule it will return 12 payments @ 30
dollars. I want it to read;
12 at 3
10 at 4
ect. ect.

Hokay. Now that I understand it, I have a better approach anyway:

A B
1 #
2 3 =ROUNDUP($B$1/A2,0)
3 4 copy that down
4 6
5 8

Should work fine.
