Account Reconciliation - Eliminate Transactions

Hi All,

I've got a problem that I suspect has probably been asked before, but I can't find anything on it, so I'm starting a new thread.

I have a series of accounts which need to be reconciled. That is, an account may be made up of hundreds of transactions but the majority of them net to zero, so these need to be eliminated from the transaction listing, leaving only those transactions that directly make up the balance on the account. Some transactions may be equal and opposite, but more often we have 1 transaction being the equal and opposite of the sum of several others, in a many to one relationship.

I've made a simplified example of the problem, where a number of transactions are marked on a simple transaction listing as 'cleared', what I need to do is find a way, probably with some sort of VBA (I tried using solver, with no success), to identify which transactions can be cleared, and to mark them as such, when working with accounts with hundreds of rows.

Hope this makes sense, give me a shout if not.
Thanks,
