I have a single column arrary about 16 cells or so, say A1:A16. There are numerical values in each cell. I need either a vba procedure or user defined function that will return the position in the array once a sum is reached. For example if the values were (2,4,5,6,3,4) and my goal was to find "11" i want the procedure to return 3 which is the position in the array where 11 is reached

this is urgent, please help

A user defined function

Code:
Function fnd(aRange As Range, Target)
Dim tot, i, cel As Range
tot = 0
fnd = 0
i = 0
For Each cel In aRange
i = i + 1
tot = tot + cel.Value
If tot = Target Then
fnd = i
Exit Function
End If
Next cel
End Function

example: =fnd(A1:A6,11)
