time............remember, "The only people that don't make mistakes, are
those that don't DO anything".........

Don't know what was wrong but I did the formula again and this time it
worked, although the percentage answer was a couple of points out it is
close
enough. Thanks again. Rick

I just duplicated your description of your situation in XL2k, including
copy
and paste your G14 formula, and it all seems to work
fine.........perhaps a
typo on your spreadsheet?

Hi, In my spreadsheet cell E14 adds up E2 - E14 and cell C14 adds up
C2 -
C14. In G14 I have put a formula to show the difference between E14
and
C14
as a Percentage ( formula for G14 is =SUM(E14-C14)/ABS(E14) ).
When
the
Formula for G14 looks at E14 and C14 all it sees is a SUM formula to
add
up
the column. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. Many thanks
for
looking. Rick
