Solver

Can I use the solver function to find from a set of accounting transactions the sum of debits or credits that sum up to a particular number. i.e. I have 100 transactions, from those transactions I need to find a combination of entries that sum up to £10,500. Can this be provided by Excel's solver function and can it provide the result with a variety of permutations?

Hi Ronak

Thanks for your question.

The Solver feature will not be able to do this for you as Solver will change the entries in the cells in order to give you the solution you specify (e.g. total of £10,500).

This may be something you could resolve using VB programming but it would be quite complex to set up.

Excel tip:

Converting an American date format to European using Formula

Excel depending on your local setting will only pick up date values of the dd mmm yyyy oders as date type. If you import data from various sources including America their date order is different with data value in mmm dd yyyy, excel can only treat it as text indicated by left aligning it. To overcome this you have to do the the following.

1. Extract the date components mmm dd yyyy, by using the the Text functions LEFT, MID or RIGHT

2. Reorder dd mmm component and concatenate using "&" in the right order this will create a text string with the date in the right order it then needss to be converted to a value so excel can recognise it.

3. To convert to value encase in TEXT function.

4. Format to desired date format.
