Hi All,

I am trying to find a particular value in the list with SUM function.

Example: 100, 120, 150, 180, 120, 100, 140

And the result I need should be 450, whereas if you add the 150, 180 & 120 from the list, we will get that particular value (450).

I looked on internet and I found the below code to do that.

Function GetCombination(CoinsRange As Range, SumCellId As Double) As String
Dim xStr As String
Dim xSum As Double
Dim xCell As Range
xSum = SumCellId
For Each xCell In CoinsRange
If Not (xSum / xCell < 1) Then
xStr = xStr & Int(xSum / xCell) & " of " & xCell & " "
xSum = xSum - (Int(xSum / xCell)) * xCell
End If
Next
GetCombination = xStr
End Function

Like i will be getting it as 1 of 150, 1 of 180, 1 of 120, but the problem is if the list has 150, 150, 150, 150, 100, 100, 120, I am getting the result as "3 of 150".

What I need is let the list in Range ("A") column, and the result I am waiting for will be in Range("B") column, All I want is, I need only the numbers which are the exact results should be listed in Range("C") column without this "1 of" or "2 of".

Can anyone give it a try.

Thanks in advance
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
instead of
Rich (BB code):
xStr = xStr & Int(xSum / xCell) & " of " & xCell & " "


try

Rich (BB code):
Rich (BB code):
xStr = xStr & Int(xSum / xCell)


I think that will do it. The & " of " & xCell & " " is the 1 of, or 2 of in your code.

have you used msgbox to get the values of xStr and xCell as the code loops through? That would be my next bit of troubleshooting.

No i don't

insert some msgbox's to show you exactly what those values are as the code runs. This should help identify how to modify the code better.

Rich (BB code):
Function GetCombination(CoinsRange As Range, SumCellId As Double) As String
Dim xStr As String
Dim xSum As Double
Dim xCell As Range
xSum = SumCellId
msgbox "xSum = " xSum
For Each xCell In CoinsRange
If Not (xSum / xCell < 1) Then
xStr = xStr & Int(xSum / xCell) & " of " & xCell & " "
msgbox "xStr & Int(xSum / xCell) = " xStr
xSum = xSum - (Int(xSum / xCell)) * xCell
msgbox "xSum - (Int(xSum / xCell)) = " xSum
End If
Next
GetCombination = xStr
End Function


Something like that.
