test 2 ranges
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. d |

Hi,
The little used DELTA function =DELTA(SUM(A1:A3),SUM(B1:B6))=1 Mike "Dave" wrote: This should be simple but i can't see it. How do I return TRUE/FALSE if the sum of 2 ranges are equal.

test 2 ranges
Just a nitpicking caveat.
If the numbers are really TEXT numbers =SUM()=SUM() could return a false positive. If the numbers are TEXT numbers then: SUM() = 0 and SUM() = 0 0 = 0 = TRUE -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Jacob Skaria" wrote in message ... =SUM(A1:A3)=SUM(B1:B6) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Dave" wrote: This should be simple but i can't see it.

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, "Mike H" wrote: Hi, The little used DELTA function =DELTA(SUM(A1:A3),SUM(B1:B6))=1 Mike "Dave" wrote: This should be simple but i can't see it.
