formula to check balances within parameters

Hi,

I am wanting a formula that checks if a worksheet balances. Not exactly but
within a dollar.

Something like:
=IF(SUM(J5:J35)=J40<>1,"Holy Smokes, Your Right On", "Ooops, better check
formulas")

What do I need to add?

maybe something like:

=IF(ABS(SUM(J5:J35)-J40)<=1,"Holy Smokes, Your Right On", "Ooops, better
check formulas")

Regards

Trevor
