Hi, i want to compare debits in column (D1:1000) to credit in column (E1:1000). If a debit and a credit is equal then it must just add a ZERO in each line, say in Column F??? How can i go about this???
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Well, what you're looking to do literally is just comparing them and doing simple math like

=D1-E1

What' i'd suggest is starting with =SUM($E$1:E1)-SUM($D$1:D1) which will give you a running balance.

Thanks but this is not going to work - the matching debit and credit must clear, then i will only have to investigate the ones not clearing?
