I didn't read it right, it would be executing on row 5 and adding row 8 value
on the first iteration and would then increment one row only for the cell
value that is added by the starta.Offset(i,4).Value statement. In
otherwords, each iteration adds a different value to the same cells in row 5
on each iteration.

I am trying to compare a value and then add that value to a cell. but
my sum is not coming right
