    How do I find the number of the list is the addition of an equal number?

    hi,
    I have a list of numbers from 1 to 50
    Is the formula to find the numbers from the list, the sum of a number is the same.
    for example :
    column a columnb**** column(a)+column(b)=10
    1 9
    2 8
    3 7
    4 6
    5 5

    Hi,

    Can you clarify. Do you have a number, 10 in this example and you want to find all the pairs that add to that number OR do you want to find ALL the pair sums where there are at least two the same? i.e. with

    1 13
    7 7
    5 6
    4 9
    6 8
    8 3

    Would you want to find pairs, 1,2,3,5 & 6

    Or try these

    =IF(A2+B2=10,"Yes","")

    Thanks
    The similarity is not important numbers like all numbers from the list that sum, say 10 or any arbitrary number I've gotten.
    My favorite is just the number does not matter what the numbers are.
    I have just hope your order.
    column a*** columnb**** column(a)+column(b)=15
    1***** 14
    2 *****13
    3*****12
    4*****11
    5*****10
    6*****9
    7*****8

    It seems that you want to populate column B with the difference between the number in column A and an arbitrary number. If so try the formula

    where 15 can be substituted for by any arbitrary number.

    I missed my goal
    All possibilities to obtain the sum of two numbers that have the same result.

    To avoid us all guessing what you actually want please upload an example with several rows of real data. Then manually add the results you expect and tell us which ranges are data and which ranges are results. And if it's not blindingly obvious how you have arrive at the results.

    Made an improvement, I believe, by adding the following formula to Column A beginning with A2:
