 Total Balance for Concatenated Unique ID in Access and Excel
Hi, I have two spreadsheets that I import in to MS Access to compare. To get a comparable Unique Identified, I concatenate the data in three columns to one unique reference. I then want to find the total balance for each identifier, which normally have around 8 entries each and then compare it against the other data. Does anyone have any advice for this process? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Software/Hardware used:

Answer Wiki:
Try a query like this: <pre>SELECT t1.identifier, SUM(t1.amount) FROM table_1 AS t1 GROUP BY t1.identifier HAVING (((Sum(t1.amount))<> SELECT SUM(amount) FROM table_2 WHERE identifier = t1.identifier)));</pre>
