    Account matching, any good ideas?

    Hi, I am having a problem matching a few accounts, The problem is as follows
    I receive an excel dokument with account names, currencies and amounts.
    What i would like to do is to check that the balances are equal to what i think they should be in my excel document.
    The probelm arises when for example i have posts with two amounts and they have one with the total amount, for example:

    My file:

    Harrry EUR 100
    Harry EUR 200
    john eur 100
    Jane eur 50
    Jane eur 100

    Their file
    Harry eur 300
    john EUR 100
    jane eur 150


    What I am looking for is to see that for each name we have the same amounts. The names are also different, i have been using vlookup to create matches so the ones with one name like John above are not a problem but obviously when trying to do the same with their aggregated accounts i get an issue. One note of importance is that this is a daily check and names can drop off or enter so manually aggregating is not really an option.

    Any help much appreciated

    Possibly using SUMIF or SUMPRODUCT formulas to test for equality?

    As dangelor suggests try the "SUMIF" function. See example in file.
