Hello, I am looking for an excel formula that does the following:


We have a mark to reach, let's say MARK=12


In column A we have "random" amounts.
In column B, I want a formula that:
- Calculates the running amount in col A and
- If the running total has not reached then MARK then leave the cell empty, otherwise, display that running total, and THEN
- next cell repeats the process but ignoring the cells that were part of a running total previously displayed.


Example:
MARK = 12
Col A Col B
7
4
5 16
1
6
5 12
6
8 14
4
3
4
8 19
... and so on
Can you do this? I have been working on this for quite a few hours but haven't been able to find a formula for this. And it needs to be a formula; no VBA or POwer Query should be involved in a solution for this. Any tip would be very much appreciated. :-)
Thank you in advance for your time, knowledge and kindness,
Celia
