Hi helpers,
I have two lists that needs to be matched every month. one is;given loans the other one is; gurantee letters for that amounts of loans. As an example; when it's given $102 loan to a customer, they shall bring a $102 gurantee letter from a bank. We have the loan amounts and letter amounts in two different lists. Matching them manually takes ages.. I need to find an easier way..
I can't use a vlookup formula, because there are 2500 items in a sheet and there can be several times the same amount. I have two main constraints; the currency of amounts should be same. Secondly; the date of the letter and date of loan should be very close (mostly one day after, but it s ok even if they are on the same month) Seldom if ever, same amounts are hitting the system on the same month. But it's ok, i can correct them manually..
Example:
Credit List :
ID Currency Amounts Date
200 CHF 885,00 06.01.2008
836 CHF 8833,00 24.05.2007
1 EUR 451944,0 30.07.2007
3 EUR 9541,00 03.01.2008
6 EUR 40200,00 07.08.2007
7 EUR 74955,00 01.08.1990
Letter List:
ID Currency Amount Date
1 TRY 7495,00 02.08.1990
2 TRY 26,00 24.08.1990
3 EUR 9541,00 01.08.1990
4 TRY 3763,00 17.09.1996
5 USD 41205,00 18.03.1997
6 EUR 35279,00 25.08.1997
7 CHF 8833,00 25.05.2007
8 TRY 4200,00 31.12.1998
At the list above only the CHF highlated in RED; in the 2 and 7th rows of the lists are matching, other amounts are not matching due to differences in currencies or dates..
I know it s pretty complicated, but it s a pain in the as. to match all of them manually.. I tried sorting and grouping acc. to currencies or dates and also changing letter amounts to negative values and summing up to 0.. nothing works.. Can anyone help???
Looking forward for aid...
