Analyze a number as a sum

[remalguy]

Hello,
I want to analyze any given number as a sum of other given numbers in a table.

Example : Numbers in table (500, 250, 10, 5, 1)
Number : 1306

result : 500x2, 250x1, 10x5, 5x1, 1x1

Thanks in advance

Excel 2010
	B	C	D	E	F	G
1
2	1306	500	250	10	5	1

Range	Formula
B2	=SUMPRODUCT(C2:G2,{2,1,5,1,1})

Combine Solver with Dave's solution to find the components of different totals.

You can use a "greedy" method like this:

	A	B	C	D
1	Number		Table	Count
2	1306		500	2
3			250	1
4			10	5
5			5	1
6			1	1

<tbody>
</tbody>

Array Formulas Cell Formula D2 {=INT(($A$2-SUM(IF(ISNUMBER($C$1:$C1),$C$1:$C1,0)*IF(ISNUMBER($D$1:$D1),$D$1:$D1),0))/C2)} <tbody> </tbody> Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If entered correctly, Excel will surround with curly braces {}. Note: Do not try and enter the {} manually yourself

<tbody>
</tbody>

If the OP requires a distribution
try the following

Excel 2010
	A	B	C	D	E	F	G
1			Denomination
2	Amount	0	500	250	10	5	1
3	1,306	0	2	1	5	1	1
3bbb

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
C3	=INT(ROUND($A3-SUMPRODUCT($B3:B3,$B$2:B$2),2)/C$2)

Thank you guys...you made my day :D

=INT(($A3-SUMPRODUCT($B3:B3,$B$2:B$2))/C$2) may suffice.
