Hello all,

I need a macro that will sum numbers down a column until it gets as close to 8 as possible.
ex:

1
.5
.5
4
3
.5
3
2

so a space would need to be inserted in the 5th column with the sum of 6 because it cannot add the 3 to surpass 8. Please help!

suppose your data is from A1 down to A8

in B1 type the formula
=SUM($A$1:A1)
copy B1 down
you know where it sums up to 8
