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

Copy the code I sent, Ctrl + c, right click the sheet tab and click on View Code. This will take you to the
vb
editor. Paste, Ctrl + v, the code in the large white area. Now hit Alt + F11 to return to the worksheet.
Test fly the code by making entries in notable cells. If E3 and K3 do not match you should get a Message Box alerting you.
Note, in your post you mention E2 & K2 not matching. I assumed you meant E3 & K3.

Howard
