Finding missing data

Hi,

I have a list of payments on a spreadsheet which I would like to enter onto sage (I cannot import it).
I have entered all the lines into Sage but the totals do not match. The amount I have posted on Sage is under by £1500. How can I compare the data between what I have posted and the list of payments to show lines that are missing from my posted spreadsheet.

Hope that made sense?!

I look forward to a reply

Maria

RE: Finding missing data

HI Maria,

Thank you for the forum question.

Unfortunately I cannot be a great help for you on this one. I do not have any knowledge of Sage but I found some forums which may be can be a help.

RE: Finding missing data

Hi Jens,

I don't need help with Sage as I can export the data to an excel spreadsheet.

I need help with comparing the data i've posted with the data from the payments spreadsheet too see what data is missing. the result should be the same totals.

RE: Finding missing data

Hi Maria,

Sorry I thought you wanted to compare your Excel worksheet with your data in Sage.

If you want to compare two Excel lists you can do it with conditional formatting or with the Vlookup function.

Do you have a unique transaction ID for each record (may be invoice number)?

If you have a unique value for each record you can find the two methods used in the attached workbook.

I hope this can help.


Kind regards

Excel tip:

Calculate age or service

The DATEDIF() function in Excel calculates the number of days, months, or years between two dates. So, this function makes it easy to calculate a person's age. To try this tip:

In a blank worksheet, type the birth date in cell A1, using slashes to separate day, month, and year.
In cell A2, type =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"y") and press ENTER.
