Code to find number combination(s) for a given total

Hi.
I have a set of numbers and I need to find a subset that equals, or is less then a given value.
For example, I might have the numbers 2, 6, 8, 10, 16, & 22, and need to find a combination that totals 40. The answers would be 2 + 16 + 22 = 40, or 8 + 10 + 22 = 40, or 2 + 6 + 10 + 22 = 40. If my target was 41, then either of these would be acceptable too.
Has anyone seen C/AL code that accomplishes this?
Thanks!

It looks like the Excel add-in "Solver" has the function I need. So, in theory, I could manipulate Excel from within NAV to get my answer.
Has anyone gone anywhere near this though NAV? Or, or does anyone know of any examples that manipulate Excel beyond the usual loading of a spreadsheet?
Thanks!
