    Re: get exact result from a series of numbers

    the question is how i can choose the correct numbers in order to get the exact value by arranging them in three diff tables lets say: year 1, year 2 and year 3, each year need to have 8 numbers from the 45 numbers table must be unique for each year.

    i attached a workbook as example.

    thanks

    How do you know that there are three disjoint selections of the 45 numbers that add to the same value?

    Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to do at all, or how it could relate to budgeting.

    How is the 14,085,832 determined? What is the logic to arrive at this number?

    Re: get exact result from a series of numbers

    thats the thing, the only logic is to select 11 items per year to will have 33 items from those 45 and the total must be equal to that number, i dont know if theres any logic that excel could manage to get that value

    also each year total must be between 4 and 5 million so year1 must be between 4-5 millions and year 2 and 3 the same 4-5 millions

    Re: get exact result from a series of numbers

    My question is what is the basis of the 14 million. How was it selected as the check number? Where did it come from? Is it arbitrary or calculated? Does it have any relationship to the 45 numbers. Without this information, there is no way to determine any type of calculation.
