    Bank Reconciliation

    I found tons of threads, but none that really answer my question.. I know I got this template on this site, but I want to alter it. Currently the template uses the date to help match, I just want the amounts to match.

    Cheques worksheet-
    How can 18 items be x on one side, and 21 on the other?
    Example- $900 marked off on the bank side, but not in the journal. It all comes down to the date. I need to remove this and just have the items matching by the amount.

    My macro experience is minimal (copying and pasting from similar questions on this site).

    Check out my attachment and let me know what you think. Any help is appreciated.

    kfoote,
    I do not see any code on the attached.
    You also have two sheets. Which sheet?
    Are you comparing column D and H, if so what happens if there are duplicates?

    Re: Bank Reconciliation

    I was just talking about my page "cheques" to start... I'm sure once I figure out one I can get the other!
    I'm trying to compare D & H, X when there is a match.. but right now it is matching dates.. I just want to match up based on numbers.

    Hi kfoote

    Please place the Code in your actual File that exhibits this anomaly and Upload your File with the Code that's causing the issue...perhaps we can debug it for you
    Currently the template uses the date to help match, I just want the amounts to match.

    Re: Bank Reconciliation

    Hi Kelly

    I've not played with this Code for some time. As you see in the Attribution, it's not mine. However, over a period of time I've modified the Code and have it in my archives...it seems to work on your File and is in the attached.

    Let me know of issues.

    I think we are getting closer! Attachment shows that it is adding entries together.

    Hi Kelly

    Pictures are of little value.

    Please attach a sample file that represents what you have. The structure of your attachment should be the same structure as your actual data. Any proprietary information should be changed.

    Include in the attachment any code you're currently using (whether it works or not) and an "After" of what you wish the output to be.

    Re: Bank Reconciliation

    Once I opened your file Excel help bank rec UpDate.xls‎ I organized and sorted it, and noticed that the the $10 and $15 Journal Entries were being matched with a $25 bank entry, rather than searching for a "10" and "15".

    I didn't add any additional code.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Re: Bank Reconciliation

    Hi Kelly

    Yes, this is what the Code does
    Journal Entries were being matched with a $25 bank entry,
    If you wish other Matching Descriptors they'd need to be available in Columns C and I to find available Matches.

    This Code is not currently available and would need to be written. Provide the Matching Descriptors, I'll try to provide the Code.

    Re: Bank Reconciliation

    So it can't just match them individually (or exactly)? it pairs them together when the opportunity arises? Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me. I really appreciate it.

    I don't want additional matching descriptors.

    In my perfect world I am looking to have it match up exact duplicates between column D and Column H and mark it with an X in column E and G.

    So if d15 was -22.00 and h5 was -22.00, when you "match" an X would appear in e15 and g5

    Any that weren't exact matches would remain blank and could be manually reconciled.

    Hi Kelly

    Seems to me it would be simpler to manually deal with the exception rather than than the rule.

    Re: Bank Reconciliation

    My bank rec is pretty big and it would probably take me longer to find the exceptions than it would to do the whole thing manually. I'm really not sure at this point! I just thought there had to be an easier way.
    Thanks for your help. I appreciate it

    Kelly

    I'm OLD (emphasis on OLD) retired CPA...I've done literally THOUSANDS of Bank Recs in my working life.

    I can make the Code do this if you so choose
    So it can't just match them individually (or exactly)?
    You won't be happy with it. I'll look at it tomorrow.

    Re: Bank Reconciliation

    Hi Kelly

    Seldom will checks that clear the Bank be individual Checks...they're typically a Batch of Checks.

    If we're doing this with the Code none of these Batches will be matched
    So it can't just match them individually (or exactly)?
    If you'll share your Raw Files perhaps I can develop a workaround...

    Hi Kelly

    Check the Totals of cleared items for each column...make certain they match.
