Solver could do this. Put the possible components in, say,
column A, enter 0's in column B, column C = A*B. In next
row of C, sum rows above it. This would be cell C5 in your
example. Run solver making column B the adjustable cells,
constrained to integers, = 0 and <=1. Target C5 equal to the
desired sum.

HTH,
Merjet
