Thanks for the reply...

Actually i need to add five or less numbers which are in column A to any
number in column B.

Column A has 200 numbers And column B has about 50 numbers


Col A Col B
256 490
234
325
214
256
147

In the example 256+234 = 490

Please help.
thanks!

This isn't clear, you want all possible conbinations of 200 numbers but
how
may do you want in each number set? what do you want them to add up to?

I have about 200 numbers in a column. I need to find all the possible
additions which are possible using those numbers. My final aim is to

the answers with some other data.
