SumMatch Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How to find out which version of SumMatch Pro should I install? 32 or 64 bit?

You have to check which version of Excel you have installed on your computer. Make sure that the Excel add-in matches the bits and the version number of Excel installed on your computer. Please see the screenshots below for Excel 2010 (Fig.1) and 2013 (Fig.2) for illustrated guide how to check your Excel version.

Q3. Compare SumMatch Pro and Web. Which one should I use?

It depends on internet connectivity.

Q5. I have my data in a spreadsheet but SumMatch Pro is not finding matching combinations for my target value.

There may be a few different reasons for SumMatch Pro not finding matching combinations of numbers.
First make sure that the data in your Excel spreadsheet is what you expect it to be - often the spreadsheet data display is formated for users' viewing and the underlying data has slightly different values that the data displayed.
For example, if you formatted your numbers to display 2 decimal places, where you see 4.32 there may be more decimal places in the cell, for example 4.31999999999971. In this case you could round the numbers to the value you want using the ROUND Excel formula and then run SumMatch for the rounded values. Alternatively you could use the tolerance of 0.005 or whatever is the desired tolerance for your data. In general remember that the more significant digits your data has the more difficult it is to find matching combinations.
Another reason SumMatch Pro/Web may not find solutions is the difficulty level of the problem. Some data sets are difficult to solve. In this case it may help to use a different order for your results and/or limit the input data to a smaller subset.
