Finding Cells
 

I have a column which lists various dollar amounts (thousands of cells). I
want to search that column and locate cells which total a specific dollar
amount. For example, a customer has fifty accounts with us and I know he paid
$100.00 that were divided randomly over five of his accounts. I need to know
which five accounts that $100.00 could have been spread across, so I need to
find a way to search the column to find which cells total that $100.00. I
have been unsuccessful in finding something suitable in the Help file. Thank
you.

Well, yes. The problem is, I don't think the payment was applied to the
correct person's accounts, so searching by name has not been successful.
Also, the amount is spread over several cells. I want the formula to be able
to search the column and return the actual cells which total that specific
amount; the amount would not be located in one cell. I want it to find the
first group of cells which total a specific amount, then if that's not it,
move on to the next group of cells which total that specific amount. Thank
you for your assistance.
