A trial Balance has basically 3 columns: They are:
Account, Debit(Dr), Credit (Cr)

List all accounts with their Debit or their Credit amounts(Make Sure you put Debit amounts in the Dr column and Credit amounts in the Cr column).

Then Add all the Debits. Next add all the Credits.

The Debits should equal the Credits.

If not there is an error somewhere and you need to verify your individual Debits and Credits and or verify you account balances.
