Use Excel Power Query to Reconcile Tables

You have two tables and you're trying to reconcile the list of items between the two. You're concerned not with matches but with the differences between the two tables. You need to highlight or show entries that should have a common column entries in both columns and show what records have the missing information. What are the entries that don't have a match between both tables? In SQL that would be called anti-join, but you don't have to know SQL to do this. Just open up Power Query and use the merge commands. It's a bit involved but not that complicated. See how...

Hi have been watching your videos about reconciliation using power query, you have really helped me. Now how can you match the positive(debt) and negative(credit) amounts not references. Let's say if the ledger references(using voucher number to payments) are different from bank references in excel power query suppliers reconciliation

Good solution. Thanks Doug!

Thanks for showing us this. My experience is that my recon's are more messy. In your example, we could have just done a v lookup to have the same result. How do you manage if you do not have a common column? I have situations where the accounting software has multiple entries that add up to one entry on the bank entry side. ie. 4 $25 entries on the accounting software side, and 1 $100 entry on the bank statement. Any Power Query advice?
