Extract sum of number above a threshold

Manantsoa

Hello everybody, 

 

I have a list of item with its amount and I am currently searching for a way to extract all amount until a certain threshold is attained. 

 

In the file I am giving here, I have 14 items with a 6 516 895 USD. I have to pick all big amount until remaining item value is less than 1 000 000 USD. 

 

My only clue is on the sheet "Prop1" where:

a) I sorted the item: decreasing

b) Put a column "Sum_Amount" which first row is the total of Amount

c) Make a decreasing substraction of Sum_Amount

d) Filter "Sum_amount" > 1 000 000 USD

 

Problem is, I do not know how to adress the formula with Alteryx from Part c) 😅

 

But if you have a smarter and quicker way to do it, feel free to share. 

 

Nb: in real life, the data are quite huge more than 1 Million rows. 

 

Thank you

Hi @Manantsoa 

 

Instead of finding when 100000 is depleted it's easier to find when the running total is more than 100000. Refer the workflow
