I am comparing a list of checks from our system to bank checks cleared with a
v lookup formula. My problem is when the bank has a check for $100 and our
system has two checks for $100, Vlookup is matching both our system checks to
the one bank check. Is there a way to instruct it to only match the first
$100.00?

Hi,
Maybe there is a better way than a Vlookup to accomplish this.
Lets just say I have 2 columns to compare A & F. If there is a $5.00
amount in Col A then I want it to look at column F and if there is a $5.00,
put $5.00 in col B. In col C , I am using the difference between col a and
col b to find out if there is not a corresponding amount in column F. If I
only have 1 $5.00 amount in Col A, I only want it to pick up $5.00 one time.
Col A Col B Col C Col F
1 $25.00 $25.00 $5.00
2 $10.00 $10.00 $0.00 $5.00
3 $5.00 $ 5.00 $0.00 $10.00
Thanks for taking your time on this.
