    highlight cells based on a value of another cell

    Hi,

    I have a column with random numbers, I need to highlight the cells that make up total amount of 33.

    Example below... add up to 33... how do I do a range formula and highlight the cells that make up 33, I need to then color code those cells.. (Hope this is clear!) thanks,

    COLUMN
    10
    7
    6
    7
    8
    5

    Re: highlight cells based on a value of another cell

    There are several combinations of numbers in that list that can total 33. Yes the ones you highlighted but also for example:
    7
    6
    7
    5
    4
    4

    So how many combinations equaling 33 do you want out of the list? Are there any other parameters that had you identify the numbers you highlighted?

    thank you for your reply.

    it doesnt matter, is there a way of just highlighting any combination to add up to 33?

    thanks

    What is confusing me is how to highlight them. If you considered all combinations all of the numbers would be highlighted.
