Comparing two sets of data

[terry3218]

Hi all
I have a situation with data analysis.

So we are migrating to a new software. I need to compare trial balances of 2 softwares. Now the account codes in new software are in such a way that each account code in new system can have 2 or more multiple corresponding account numbers in the old software. For example in the new system the account code for foreign currency gain is 1234 but on the older one there are multiple such accounts like ABC, EFG. If I add up the total of ABC and EFG, it does equal the total balance of the new account code. I mean if I add up manually the balances for codes form the old. System they do equal the pivot table balance of the corresponding account. Is there a way to automatically add up balances of the old software account numbers and compare them to the new balances?

I'm not sure if my question is very clear. Apologies for that.
