You can use "Conditional Formating", just look for it on the help. It is a great tool and it is relatively easy to set, you can choose blinking red text when the condition occur, in your case mismatch.

I have excel 2007 but I know this function exists in 2000 as well. Let me know if you need more help and I will be happy to assist you

Yes of course, if you have a little background of visual basic programming that's possible you can enhance your requirements.

    I just the example given before you proceed to blinking colors mode. It is little harder than this example. You need to use visual basic coding for great result. Please don't forget to rate me SOLVED.

How can i export the data tally to excel

Hi,

There are 2 ways to do it..

Step 1
You can export as text and import it back to excel using the text file you created.
Or
You can select HTML and give the file name as eg-XYZ.xls


Step 2

You can export all reports and statements. For this a separate export button is provided in right hand button bar. To do this go to any report e.g. day book you to export or any statement e.g. balance sheet. You would see export button on top right hand side on button bar. Press it and a screen would pop up with export related options.

The first option is format of data to be exported namely ASCII, HTML, SDF, and XML. Which ever application you are importing this data in would decide in which format you should export the data.
For statements like balance sheets and trial balance which we use to send and import file in word and excel etc. HTML format is good. We need minimum formatting in this format while using it in MS Word and MS Excel.
certain applications accept continuous data where we have defined field length. Then ASCII format is better.
For application which accept SDF and XML format these formats can be chosen.

Give a file name and the exported file is saved in the parent Tally directory on your computer. You can now use that file to import its contents into another program, send it as it is (say if it is HTML file) to a colleague or view it using a browser.

Step 3

Consider exporting day-book.Go to day book press export button or use shot cut key Alt+E. Exporting screen will displayed.

tally-export-screen-300x82.gif

Press Back space on your keyboard. And select Format as ASCII (comma delimited). Now give output File Name as Daybook.csv, now select some other option you want to export from the bottom of the screen.

tally-export-ready-screen-300x81.gif

Press enter to accept screen. Day book is exported in to tally program folder. Check program folder for file daybook.csv,

csv-file.gif

Double click on it, the file will open in excel program. If you want it in excel work sheet file, use the option Saveas, and save it in Microsoft excel workbook (*.xls) format.



Hope this is helpful. Let us know if the issue is resolved.

You can change this under the Excel, options menu. Select the advanced option and uncheck the option to "Show Formulas in cells instead of their calculated value", or you can jjst press Ctrl + `

To hide zeros cell-by-cell use a Custom Number Format like 0.00;-0.00; where 0.00 is desired format for non zeros. Note the use of -0.00 for negatives.

To hide zeros on the Workbook level go to Tools>Options>View - Zero Values.

Forgot password to open Excel sheet

If you mean that you can open the Workbook and read the Worksheet - then all you have to do is select all and paste it to another Worksheet. This will allow for changes of formulas etc.

If you mean the whole Workbook - then I dunno.

In future, either use the same password for everything (easy to remember) or Protect the work with nothing entered into the password field (leave this blank). This last will protect the work from people who try to guess your password, but will be easy for you to remember - eg every password is left blank.

If you must use unique passwords, then keep a record of them somewhere other than on your computer.

Sorry I can't help with the "Workbook" solution - but somebody else out ther may be able to do so.
