itemA 1 ord-18/07/06
itemB 2 ord-01/01/05
itemC 2 ord-18/07/06
itemD 3 ord-18/07/06
itemE 1 ord-18/07/06

I want to know belong ord-18/07/06's items, which ones to pick up in order to reach a total qty of 5. Answer is itemC (2) + itemD (3). I tried with various combinations of SUM,MAX,HAVING.. Can't make it works. Help appreciated. Rgds."
