I have a column with multiple values (thats my range). In this range I want to see which cells by sum match X. At the moment I use trial and error (manual selecting cells to see if they match X), but it is too time consuming. I tried searching on the internet, but I get the wrong results.

Example
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 300"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Product A
[/TD]
[TD]500[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Product B[/TD]
[TD]1000[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Product C[/TD]
[TD]900[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

X = 1500. I need to find which cells match 1500, here it's product A + product B. What do I need to use, scenaria-analysis or what-iff model or does it need VBA? Thanks
