I have a set of data (see below) with a formula that tells me the minimum number of consecutive entries required to sum to a total:
Date Deliveries FORMULA
2/11/1998 132.75 47
3/11/1998 170.65 46
4/11/1998 439.55 45
5/11/1998 457.85 45
6/11/1998 337.75 44
9/11/1998 760.2 43
10/11/1998 544.75 42
11/11/1998 28.1 41
12/11/1998 27.95 40
13/11/1998 124.25 39
16/11/1998 826.2 38
17/11/1998 1350.15 37
18/11/1998 1624.3 37
19/11/1998 2076.9 37
Please note the data in column A and B continue for another 200 + Rows.
The formula in C5 is:
=MATCH($D$3,SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(B5,,,ROW(B5:B262)-ROW(B5))),1)
I drag this down in col C and find the minimum which is 37 - basically the minimum number of deliveries to reach my total in D3.
What I want to know is how can I make this so I don't have to drag the formula down, Ie the result is 37 and confirmed by a single entry rather than finding the minimum of Col C.
Cheers!
