Excel qn??

[Cyrus]

Lads some boffin here was a great help to me before so i thought i would try again.

i have an excel spreadsheet to consolidate accounts. So i have Account types in column a 1 to a 50 (the likes of fixed assets, current assets and the various sub headings) in the current assets and current liabilities are all the inter company accounts so there is a list say from a20 to a30 owed by co x owed by co y etc and from a40 to a50 owed to co x owed to co y etc.

the various co's are then across the top col b is co 1, col c is co 2 etc.

What i want is a formula that matches up all the inter co balances so i can reconcile them.

So i want it to say for Co 1 to pull all the amounts it is owed by other companies (which is easy just col b20 to b30) but also to goto col c-x40-50 and to pull the balance that the other co reports as owing to co 1.

can anyone help

I'm not 100% sure I understand what your going on about TBH but if I have deciphered your post correctly then it may by the HLOOKUP function you need.

You basically give it something to look up (like co1) and the range for it to look for it in. You can use this in a calculation so it would look something like this:

=HLOOKUP("CO1",A20:X50,1)

Not really sure if that will work for you, but then again I'm not really sure what you was asking. If at all possible can you post an example spreadsheet (removing all actualy data of course ) for me to have a look at ?
