i have a spreadsheet. The ENTRY and EXIT should tally.

ENTRY----total of col A:D is in E2.

EXIT---- total of col G:J is in K2.

Cell K is formatted as E2=K2

cell K2 is formatted as the sum of G:J

when i enter a data wrongly in anywhere between the cells G:J a warning

should come in col K2(of course after entering in all the four cells

G:J).the idea is the number in entry should tally with that of the exit.

is it possible?

the excel file is attached.

See if this does what you want.
Copy into the sheet module.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim I As Integer, J As Integer
I = Range("E3")
J = Range("K3")
If I < J Then
MsgBox "E Does Not Equal K"
End If
End Sub
