These are the real life challenging type problems.

I did not go the macro path. i  used summarize to find the highest priority by item and used the multi row tool to assign to each store by item. finally i used a formula to adjust negative assigned values.

A change in mindset but macros are not as intimidating as I thought.

Still struggling with iterative Macro's so I used the running total tool, plus I added a few error checks to make sure stores didn't have items not available, no items were unstocked, all items were in the warehouse and all warehouse items were stocked.
