    Count until certain percentage reached

    I'd like to be able to look at a list of unsorted numbers and count starting from the largest numbers until the number of counted numbers equals a certain percentage of the sum of all numbers in the list.

    For example:
    Consider a list such as:

    20
    30
    30
    20

    If I wanted to know the number of items that equals 60%, it would return 2 (the two 30s).

    Any ideas?

    Are you averse to using helpers ?

    If we assumed your list was A1:A4 then:

    I am trying to count through a pivot table, so ideally it'd be nice to do so without helper cells.
