    Z139 is total of all values in column Q when date in column O matches date in cell O139 [5/10/2018].

    But cell Q139 value is 2 and cell Q180 value is 169 and cell Q203 value is 120 sum of that is only 291 we need more 610 to become total of 901 so what is the source of this 610 value

    If you highlight the cells [source] referenced in the formula, you'd have to look all the way down to find them.
    Instead I have inserted formulas to list Row numbers of cells that the formula is adding up.

    see attached. I have included formulas in Rows 138, 139.

    Here's a typical formula:

    It's an array formula so you need to enter it with ctrl+shft+ent.
