Default test 2 ranges

Sorry to intrrupt,

quite confused after a test

A1:A3 = {2.1,2.3,2.4}
B1:B6 = {2.3,2.4,2.1,0,0,0}

testing formula
on C1 =SUM(A1:A3)=SUM(B1:B6) TRUE
on D1 =DELTA(SUM(A1:A3),SUM(B1:B6))=1 FALSE

Is there a simple explanation fo this varying test result-method.

regards,

Hi,

The little used DELTA function

=DELTA(SUM(A1:A3),SUM(B1:B6))=1

This should be simple but i can't see it.

How do I return TRUE/FALSE if the sum of 2 ranges are equal. The ranges are
different sizes (say) a1:a3 and b1:b6 so obviously I'm not looking at each
cell individually, just the sum of the ranges.
