Hello'

I have the following in Column A

396
242
260
200
375
300
600
1470
1300

If I add row 4,6,7 i will get 1100.

Is there a way that if I input 1100 in a cell excel will tell me i
will get this amount by adding which of the cells?

Thanks

Here is some code from Harlan Grove...

Thanks For your reply.

How I could modify the code to highlight the cells instead of showing a
result in another page?

Thanks
