Hi Experts,

I have a sheet which runs into over 30000 rows. I need to find contra entries within a company in column B for a each job in column C. Basically I need to find which transactions sum to 0 in column K (Balance in Base). so for example, in company code IN9073 in column B, there are 30 transactions which sum to 3,000 in column K (Balance in base). I have manually identified whether in each transaction is contra on not in column L (Marker2). If a particular transaction is not summing to 0, I have marked it as WIP.

The problem is there can be transaction with amount + and - which can be identified AND transactions where different amounts with different signs sum to 0.

I need this to be achieved by way of some formula or VBA. I tried sumifs but failed when there are 10 transactions out of which 8 are contra and 2 are not.

The HTML of my excel is below,

P.s. Rounding off to 1 or 2 is completely allowed :-)

Thanks in advance.

I checked it for a smaller data size with just 1 job number and it ran perfectly fine. The only concern is, it takes huge amount of time to run over even 100 rows. I am wondering will I be able to run this over 30000 rows.

Hm, really? I tried using your sample workbook which has 700+ rows, it took only 1 second?
How many rows in average for 1 job number?
Can you post the sample data that took long to run?

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).

As of now I am running the code on file which has 6000 rows. It has been going on since 11 minutes for now. :rofl:

I will share the file which has over 30000 rows for you to test.

Great. I will be waiting for your revert. Thank you. :-)

Your actual workbook has decimal number in col K, we talked about it earlier that if they are decimal then I think it's hard to find a solution, so can you try converting it first to integer and upload it again.

When I ran the code on 2000 rows, it took 1 second. After this I manipulated the Job numbers with suffix and multiplied the entire data to 4000. It started processing for minutes and minutes. Never finished processing.

You're right it took long time to finish for certain job number, it because the code try to find the solution using all possible combination of the data. Tomorrow I'll see what I can do to find a workaround.

So did it finish at your end? It did not finish at my end even for 4000 rows.

Yes, you can have a look for optimisation and revert back.

Thanks once again.
