    Sum target number

    Hello All!

    I have doing some reading on this, and it appears there is no easy way. But I figured I would see if anyone here has come up with a solution.

    Issue: I would like a macro, which would allow the end user to enter a value, then based on that value entered; find a series of values in a specified row which would either come close or match that value. Remove those associated rows, and place them into a new spreadsheet.

    Ideally not using Excel Solver.

    Re: Sum target number

    Wow, very nice. Probably a stupid question. But I have never called a function before in Excel. How would I go about calling this function?

    Thanks,

    Lonney

    In the example, select B1:H1, paste =RandLen(A1) in the formula bar, press and hold the Ctrl and Shift keys, then press Enter.
