Hi - I have two columns of transactions. Some in A equal exactly B, the rest
in A have to add up to one in B (combination of 2,3,4,...). Any suggestions
on an approach? Ex:

COLUMNA COLUMNB
1000 1000
250 1000
250
500

Hi,

There is no unique answer for this type of problem. You could use Solver to
return 1 solultion, but there is no guarantee that it will be the correct on.

Example,

You have 1 hundred entries half are $1 the other half $5. You have a number
5 in your other spreadsheet, which one is it? or is it =1+1+1+1+1 and if so
which 1's?
Or 6 = 5+1 but which 5 and which 1?

If this helps, please click the Yes button.
