In order to assist in explaining this problem, I have been trying to add a
jpg extract of the spreadsheet, but this seems to result in the message not
arriving on the newsgroup - presumably because of the danger of virus in an
attachment. I am trying again without the attachment, but sorry - it will
need your close attention to understand it.

I have a cash analysis book in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.

The Cell F64 at the bottom of page 1 is the sum of a column of figures
(Actual value
£12484.70)
Each cell in column F is the sum of any items from columns G to R in the
same row

Likewise each cell G64 to R64 inclusive is the sum of that relevant
column.

In order to check the validity of each row I have a dedicated check column
"E",
every cell of which carries the same relative formula.

Thus the simple formula in E64 reads :-

=IF(F64-SUM(G64:R64)=0,"","Problem")

With certain exceptions, the value of each cell in column E therefore reads
blank as it should do.

The exceptions include E64 which reads "Problem"

BUT...I have introduced a formula in cell S64 : "=SUM(G64:R64)"
and this gives value of £12484.70 which equals the value of Cell F64 and
therefore
means that there is no problem !!

I am therefore totally perplexed why Cell E64 indicates there is a problem ?

This difficulty does not occur at row 127, the similar row at the bottom of
the next page (page 2), but does again at row 155 which is the row of totals
at the end of the year
in the middle of the 3rd page.

Hope I have explained adequately.
What is my error? Can anyone help please ?
