I could pay someone for their time if they wrote this program. Essentially there is an Excel spreadsheet with 1000-10000 entries. Each of which has a code, a price, and a risk. Then the program would go through and find a solution set such that the total price as specified by the user is in some range AND the weighted risk, i.e. the sum of (risk*price)/(total price) for all prices in the solution set is in some range. Then the program would output the corresponding codes for the entries which validate these criteria. Could anybody do this?
