Hello,

I am not sure if this is possible, but I am trying to tie out some data from two sets of data. I have a number in one of the sets of data (let's call it data set one) and I need to see which numbers in data set 2 sum up to it. There are positive and negative numbers in data set 2. I have tried CTRL + 'Click' on data to try to find which numbers in data set 2 add up to the number I am trying to find in data set 1 but there are so many possible combinations that it is taking a long time. Is there any shortcut?

I am using excel 2007.

Thanks a lot for the help and let me know if I am being to vague.

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Thank you so much! That was a better answer than I was expecting. That macro is going to help me a lot in the future.
