Formula to return date if cumulative amount meets criteria

I have 2 columns for dates and amounts paid
I want a formula which will determine the date when the cumulative of the amounts just exceeds or equals a given value. So suppose I have the following:

Dates Amt
16-Jul-14 10000
1-Aug-14 4567
3-Aug-14 3000
Now suppose I have 14,000 as my "cut-off" amount. I want a formula which should return the date, 1-Aug-14 as the cumulative amount until 1-Aug is 14,567 which is just above the cutoff of 14,000. The formula should not return 3-Aug-14 even though it meets the criteria.
Thanks

what's that?

Sorry, it a User Defined Function, like this:

Code:
Function SumByDate(rng As Range, Limit As Long) As Date
Dim Arr() As Variant
Dim ArrSum As Double
Dim i As Long


    Arr = rng
    
    ' sort the range
    QuickSortArray Arr, , , 1
    
    For i = LBound(Arr) To UBound(Arr)
    ArrSum = ArrSum + Arr(i, 2)
    If ArrSum >= Limit Then SumByDate = Arr(i, 1): Exit For
    Next i
    
End Function
Public Sub QuickSortArray(ByRef SortArray As Variant, Optional lngMin As Long = -1, Optional lngMax As Long = -1, Optional lngColumn As Long = 0)
    On Error Resume Next


    'Sort a 2-Dimensional array


    ' SampleUsage: sort arrData by the contents of column 3

I am sorry may be I shouldn't have used the word "cumulative" but is there any way to do this, though full points to your code.

yes sorting should solve the problem but if there is a way to use the code without sorting it would be more than fantastic. The problem with sorting is that if I forget to do it (even once) it could create a big problem for everyone. but thanks anyway

If you are after a smallest possible set of values that sums to a value > D1, then you could sort the data on (dollar) values and run the formula I already proposed. You need to look for code in VBA that does the required sorting whenever the data changes.

The code is great but what if I wanted to make a slight modification like if I only wanted the amounts totaled for a particular name in column A. For eg.: find the cutoff date for name, Peter?

Do you have any other requirements before I make the changes?

for some reason I am getting the #VALUE! error. My dates are in the format 21-Jul-14. Could this be the problem?
