I am trying to figure out a calculation I can perform in C# to determine the rows per column. Let’s say I know I am going to have 3 columns and my record count is 46. I know that I can mod the results to get a remainder, but I would like something more efficient than what I have tried. So I know I will have 16 rows per column with a remainder of 14 for the last column, but what is the best way to loop through the resutls and keep counts.
Integer divsion will give you the number of complete rows (46 / 3 = 15). You then check the modulus to see if you have any leftover (46 Mod 3 = 1; yep, you have one column to put in a final extra row.)
To loop through, just check the modulus of the current record index (zero-based) with your column count. That modulus is the (zero-based) column index. If it equals 0, you start a new row.
But from your question, it sounds like you already got this far. So am I misunderstanding the question?
