Default can excel check one column against another


Hi. I have a spreadsheet with columns such as A, B, C, D, filled with
numbers. Each row across such as row 1, then row 2, then row 3, etc of
numbers is totaled in column E. Countless rows, each of which is
totaled per row and then ends with a grand total at bottom of column E.
Next comes columns F, G, H, also filled with numbers (but different
numbers), which is totaled per row in Column I. At the bottom of Column
I is a grand total. Even though arrived at using different sets of
numbers, -both grand totals - in columns E and I must match.

Sometimes they don't match. Ouch.

So here is my question. How can Excel find, flag, notify or whatever
the error for me without me looking at each and every entry? There are
many many many rows. Gulp. Help.

Thank you.
