- Calculate and check table assignments before finalizing.
Reading your result
Each group stays together. Largest-first first-fit can leave unused seats and is not a guarantee of the smallest possible table count.
How this works
Sort groups largest first and place each in the first table with enough remaining seats.
Use the units shown beside each field. For monetary amounts, use one currency throughout; calculations do not convert currencies. Results normally display up to two decimal places. Nonzero values below 0.01 use up to six significant digits; values below 0.000001 use scientific notation (for example, 1E-7 means 0.0000001). Rankings use unrounded values, so displayed scores can look equal without being tied. CSV downloads retain numeric precision. Monetary rounding uses half-away-from-zero. Inputs or results beyond supported precision are rejected.
Assumptions & limits
Greedy packing, not optimal or conflict-aware seating. A group larger than a table is rejected. No individual seat numbers.
CSV inputs support quoted commas, doubled quotation marks and quoted line breaks. Headers are case-sensitive; a maximum of 500 data rows and 200,000 characters applies per table.
Results are planning aids based on the values you enter. Check important decisions and documents before using or sharing them.
