Identifying Entries that Add Up to a Specific Value With Constraints

Hi,

 

I have scoured multiple forums but can’t seem to find a solution. Im looking for a way to do this in power query excel which is dynamic easily updateable. I want to just upload cvs with historical data.

 

On weekly basis I have to meet certain X enquiries with specific constraint of X conversion rate. Using historical data, I evaluate previous performance and make predictions. However, what I am looking for is a way to automate and simply this process. I’m looking for a solution where I enter enquiries target amount (which should only deviate +10% or -10%) and >= target conversion rate. 

 

Find below example data. The enquiry target should = 58 or deviate +-10% and conversion rate of >= 2%. Its very important that the solution should also identify which campaigns meet these conditions. In this case following combined campaigns meet these conditions C to F.

 

 

 I have seen solutions for excel using Solver function but its not really dynamic. Can someone help me with this?
