Excel Function
This works well for me:
Sub FindSeries()
Dim StartRng As Range
Dim EndRng As Range
Dim Answer As Long
Dim TestTotal As Long
Answer = Range("B1") '<<< CHANGE
Set StartRng = Range("A1")
Set EndRng = StartRng
Do Until False
TestTotal = Application.Sum(Range(StartRng, EndRng))
If TestTotal = Answer Then
Range(StartRng, EndRng).Select
Exit Do
ElseIf TestTotal Answer Then
Set StartRng = StartRng(2, 1)
Set EndRng = StartRng
Else
Set EndRng = EndRng(2, 1)
If EndRng.Value = vbNullString Then
MsgBox "No series found"
Exit Do
End If
End If
Loop
End Sub
In ells A1:A41, create an array of numbers in such as this:
8
6
3
2
6
10
9
4
12
8
6
1
8
10
8
14
10
9
12
12
14
6
4
3
4
4
4
0
6
10
4
9
6
3
11
12
10
7
12
8
8
Put this in Cell B1:
90
Run the macro!!
This is VERY cool too:

Here's one I picked off from one of these groups for my Personal
Macros Workbook recently. It works pretty well.
After you paste this into a standard module, ensure that Tools-
References has these two checked:
'Microsoft Scripting Runtime
'Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 1.0
Hope this helps.
