Want to automatically enter a sum based on matching text
I woudl like to compare two monthly budgets so that I can automatically generate the variances from month to month. The rows are labelled the same from one month to the next. eg if the text in column B matches I want to pull the number from column C
RE: Want to automatically enter a sum based on matching text
Hi Katy,
Thank you for the forum question.
I am not sure I understand what you want but if you want to subtract two cells if the text is matching you can use the If function.
=If(sheets1!b2=sheets2!b2,sheets2!c2-sheets1!c2,"Not matching")
Please let me know if this is what you want. If not please come back. If you want me to have a look at you worksheet you can forward it to me.
Kind regards
