From: Donna on 1 Jun 2010 21:44 In columns “A-E” I have information about invoices Column “D” is the invoice number ( invoice number would only be referenced once and will not be in numerical order as they are sorted by policy number) In columns “P-U” I have information about checks received In column “T” it references the invoice number that the check was paying The invoice number may be referenced more that once as the payment for an invoice could have come from multiple checks. The checks are in date order received . What I would like to do is somehow reference the invoices that match from column “D” to the invoices in column “T” (or visa versa). Here is what I was thinking it would look like. But any suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated. I wasn't sure if I would have to number all the invoices in col D even if they did not have a match in col T. D T 2693999 1 Coa2098009 2658165 2 2693999 1 2658166 3 2669440 4 2669440 4 2669440 4 2686287 5 2706379 6 2706379 6 2658166 3 Thanks for all your help

That did show which ones had a match but I don't think I explained it very well. In col E I numbered the invoices. If col T has a match in Col D, then I would like for it to put in col U the corresponding number from Col E for that invoice Thank you ..
