    Comparing two accounting sheets to highlight descrepencies

    Hello Excel gurus,

    I'm not sure the approach I need to have here and the function(s) which will be useful.
    Perhaps an advance VLOOKUP function ?

    I've got two Excel sheets of accounting data.
    Essentially, dates, descriptions and amounts. Around 280 lines.

    One of the Excel sheets is a CSV Export from the bank account.
    The other one, is manual entries of the expenses in an accounting program.

    I've got a discrepancy in the bank account balance between the Bank account export (which is correct) and the manual entries.
    So I'm trying to flag what is missing from the manual entries. I suspect around 5 to 10 expenses are missing which gives me discrepancy where my manual accounting has a higher bank balance than the reality as it’s missing some expenses.

    Screenshot from the bank account export.

    Once I converted the negative values (bank account export) to positive values, I will need to have a formula to compare both sheets. I’ve got them on the same file in separate tabs.
    Is there a way to have an advance Vlookup function which will lookup for the amounts but also be comparing dates? t

    That is: for a match to happen, the date needs to match as well as the expense amount.

    Or is there another approach to this?

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.
