Hello,

I've spent 2 days trying to figure out a solution to this but my brain is in knots :)

The attached spreadsheet is Bill of Lading data from 2 different sources that has been combined into one file. I need to find the BOL's that match between Sources depending on the total Billed Units (column E) for the BOL number (column F), and Product Code (column I) . The problem is that it's not always a 1-row for 1-row comparison between the 2 sources. In the example below, you can see where the 2 rows in dark green are actually a 1-row for 1-row match: BOL 248247, same product code, same billed units, each from a different source. But the next 3 rows (in blue) are different--it's still a match between the BOL number, total billed units and product code--but ABC Source is only on one row with 12,001 billed units and Libra Source is broken up into 2 rows with 1,100 units on one row and 10,901 units on the other row.

I'm trying to find a way to label these rows as a match even though the units are sometimes broken up into multiple rows. The number of rows is not consistent so I need a solution that will sum and total by BOL number and Product Code and Source, then see if there's a match between Source Libra and Source ABC.

I can use helper rows or other sheets.

As a side note, I already have some formulas in the sheet to pull out BOL's where the billed units net to zero, and other classifications that were easier to make with if statements.

The attached spreadsheet is a sample, my real data has about 16,000 rows. I color coded the rows that match by BOL number. My hope was that I could do this match calculation in a helper row, then add the result of that row to my IF statement in the Classification column (column B).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Hi toonces,
what about using a Pivot Table to sort this out? So do a sum of billed units (col E) and use column C as a column header and the other columns as row headers. After the pivot table you could do 2 "simple" formulas with GETPIVOTDATA GETPIVOTDATA function to pull in the difference of the totals for ABC & LIBRA.
Good luck,
Koen

Actually that is what I ended up going with. I was thinking there was a way to do this with formulas so I wouldnt have to create another sheet but this still works. Thanks for the reply!

It is probably the smartest way: if you were to use formulas, they will recalculate every time and will recalculate over the complete range that's in your formula. As that's quite big in your case, that would mean a really slow recalculation. So the pivottable makes that much faster too.
