Matching

[AlexD]

Ok, here is the issue. I have a report that is sent to me with a list of all
the expenses (by name) and there expenses next to it. The next month I
recieve the report again and what I would like to do is show a monthly trend
by showing the expenses month by month, but when I recieve the report the
following month, the expenses are not all the same and/or not in the same
order. Is there any way of matching them on excel, and the ones that do not
match I can just add to the bottom?

Expenses by name is tough. Consider assigning a unique number to each
expense. That way they can be easily matched & tracked month-by-month.
