I initially tried to do this directly in SQL Server but it seems like it can't be possible through query so I want to calculate this "Distribute" column in Excel. Below is the details of the question. Appreciate if someone can help here.

I have following column in Excel and want to calculate values in "Distribute" column.

Item Qty Customer Rank Min Max Distribute
001 1500 0101 1 250 600 ????
001 1500 0104 2 0 500 ????
001 1500 0103 3 100 300 ????
001 1500 0105 4 200 300 ????
002 2000 0104 1 200 600 ????
002 2000 0105 2 150 700 ????
002 2000 0101 3 100 200 ????
002 2000 0103 4 100 500 ????
002 2000 0102 5 50 200 ????
003 800 0103 1 100 500 ????
003 800 0102 2 50 200 ????
003 800 0101 2 50 100 ????
003 800 0104 3 50 80 ????

There are multiple items (Item) and each item has fixed quantity available (Qty)

Each item is distributed in different customers (Customers) based on their rank (Rank). The ranks are group by for every item. Data is already sorted via Rank column for every item. Multiple customers against an item can have same rank.

From the total quantity (Qty) of each item, every customer must get minimum quantity mentioned in (Min) column irrespective of its rank.

The remaining quantity of every item must be distribute based on the rank of the customer making sure that it should not exceed to the maximum quantity mentioned in (Max) column.

It is OK, if total quantity of the item is not consumed after distribution maximum quantity to all customer.

What I am after is the result something like this:

Item Qty Customer Rank Min Max Distribute
001 1500 0101 1 250 600 600
001 1500 0104 2 0 500 500
001 1500 0103 3 100 300 200
001 1500 0105 4 200 300 200
002 2000 0104 1 200 600 600
002 2000 0105 2 150 700 700
002 2000 0101 3 100 200 200
002 2000 0103 4 100 500 450
002 2000 0102 5 50 200 50
003 800 0103 1 100 500 500
003 800 0102 2 50 200 200
003 800 0101 2 50 100 50
003 800 0104 3 50 80 50

Looking forward if you can provide a formula or solution here. Thanks for your help.
