    Formula Advice

    Hello everyone,
    This is my first post in this forum. I am in need of a formula which I have tried very hard to uncover but have been unsuccessful as of yet. Here are the requirements:

    A B
    1/8/2011 4
    2/8/2011 2
    3/8/2011 5
    4/8/2011 3
    5/8/2011 1

    I need to sum from bottom up column B until a sum of 5, identify that row which sums a minimum of 5, and get the date in column A from that same row. The answer in the example above would be 3/8/2011

    Thanks alot everyone!

    Re: Formula

    Any ideas at all? Forgive the poor formatting of the example, column a are dates, and column b are simple numbers.

    Thanks everyone!
