Hi All,
My son fits out new houses with cupboard shelving.

He does all his measuring and comes back with data something like:

0.9 metre lengths x 8

1.1 metre lengths x 5

1.4 metre lengths x 11

1.8 metre lengths x 6

2.2 metre lengths x 12

 

He can only buy shelving in standard lengths - say 1.8m, 2.4m, 3.0m, 3.6m

 

He spends a lot of time figuring out how many of each standard length to buy to
minimise waste and cost.

Can XL do this? Any pointers on where to start?

Regards - Dave.
