TOTAL OF A RANGE SHOULD BE
Is there a function or formula that can calculate which numbers add up to
another. for example: 5 6 7 8 I want the combination of numbers that will give me 21. In other words I know what the answer should be, just need to find out which combination of numbers will give me the answer. |

No function or formula can do this. You need to use Solver or VBA. Here's a link to a VBA approach. http://groups.google.com/group/micro...19858047398beb |
