You're approving travel expenses. Both workbooks say two hundred thirty-two dollars. Even the line totals agree. All three formulas were edited. Pause here. Each expense should use its own booking fee. Which row would you send back? The train. Its new formula adds the taxi fee. Both fees are six dollars today, so the mistake hides in plain sight. Now imagine the train fee goes up to eleven dollars. The right reimbursement is seventy-five. This sheet still pays seventy. Workbook Compare Pro flags all three formula edits. You can check the references before anyone gets shorted.
