It would let the person know the Gender doesn't equal the other totals.

Taken separately,
=SUM(I2:N2) gives the total of the race columns,
=O2+P2 gives the total of the gender columns,
=SUM(Q2:V2) gives the total of the age columns,
assuming your data is on row 2. So, depending on what you want to
highlight, you can put these together in an IF formula, eg:
=IF(SUM(I2:N2)<>O2+P2,"Gender/Race
difference",IF(SUM(Q2:V2)<>SUM(I2:N2),"Age/Race
difference",IF(O2+P2<>SUM(Q2:V2),"Gender/Age difference","Totals
agree")))
Is this the kind of thing you want? Obviously, Excel can't tell you
which is correct, just point out that there is a difference.
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much, took the formula you wrote and add another IF statement to
include the total. Prefect just what I wanted. Thanks again.
