Hi everyone,

I'm running the Solver add in, trying to find combinations of cells that sum up to a certain value. It's been running for over 20 minutes, maybe even longer. Right now it's on "Subproblem 4700" or so. And the "Trial Solutions" are going by very quickly.

Does anybody know what could be causing this?

thank you in advance, (this is my first time attempting to use solver)

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
