Default how to sum highest ranking values meeting criteria within a limit?


I need a function that will sum the n largest values in an array, where
the values are less then x and are not #N/A, meet a criteria in a
seperate array, and where the total of the sum is less then or equal to
y. How can I do this? Thanks. :)

For example, here is my data:


Code:
--------------------

name type value

alpha g 1
bravo 5
charlie g 2
delta g #N/A
echo 3
foxtrot g 7

--------------------


I want a function that will find the sum of the largest two values that
are "g" that add to 8 or less. So the output would look like:


Code:
--------------------

name value
alpha 1
charlie 2

sum: 3

--------------------
