I'm looking for the best way to compare actual labor costs that I have in an
excel file to another excel budget file. In my "Actual" file - there are
multiple rows for each employee b/c of labor distribution. I have been using
Vlookup to do the comparisons but am wondering if there is a better way.

In addition to MTD comparison I would like to do YTD comparisons. My
payroll is in SQL database - could data query help???
