I'm not sure if this is possible in Excel but I'd sure love if I could get
this to work. I have a column of weights (different sizes). Each weight is labeled in the column next to the weight amount column. And a Target weight in another column. For example: ColumnA ----- ColumnB ---------- ColumnC Wt Lbl ----- Weight Amt -------- Target Wt A1: a ----- B1: 0.125 ---------- C1: 4.256 A2: b ----- B2: 0.250 A3: c ----- B3: 0.500 A4: d ----- B4: 0.750 A1: e ----- B1: 1.000 A2: f ----- B2: 2.000 A3: g ----- B3: 2.000 A4: h ----- B4: 5.000 Now I have a target weight I am trying to achieve, lets say it's 4.256 lbs I need to know which weights (identified by its label) will be required to equal something just less than the target weight (with the remainder identified in another cell). In the example above the answer would be f,g,b (which adds up to 4.250 lbs) with a remainder (or rather shortage) of .006 lbs. Is this possible?? I'd bow to the Excel genuis that could figure out this one :). Thanks, Bill |
