I'm trying to come up with a LAMBDA formula that captures the following recursive calculation:
Column A has 40 rows with integers between 1 and 40. Column B divides each integer in column A by 6 and rounds it up. Column C divides each integer in column B by 6 and rounds it up. This continues until the integer is 1 or less, and then I want the sum of the full row for a given integer. So, for example, for the number 25 in column A, I get 6 (5 from column B and 1 from column C). For the number 40 in column A, I get 10 (7 from column B, 2 from column C, 1 from column D).
Is it possible to come up with a LAMBDA function that would get me the correct output for a given number in column A? I don't want to use VBA - just want to use the LAMBDA function for this.
