Reconciling (matching) 2 sets of data

Posted by DC on February 04, 2002 1:24 PM

I am trying to reconcile two sets of data (on the same worksheet or separate) where both sets of data share account number and price. I need to make sure that *both* account number and price match.

In a blank column I would like to be able to mark which rows of data have been reconciled and which have not. I need to mark reconciled rows for each set of the two sets of data.

Any ideas for any part of this task would be greatly appreciated.

Hi DC:
I am not sure whther I have captured your scenario quite right, but in any event the approach I have used will apply, and you can adjust it to suit. The approach is depicted below:

A B C D E F G H
1 AcctNo1 Price1 | AcctNo2 Price 2 | Reconciled
2 AnaY1 525.45 | AnaY1 525.45 | TRUE <---- =AND(B13=E13,C13=F13)
3 JinA1 475.55 | JinA1 485.55 | FALSE
4 GanS1 670.50 | GanS1 620.50 | FALSE
5 WagC1 599.99 | WagC1 599.99 | TRUE

HTH
