You stated...

"Q2 will be populated only once and will be used as a
baseline for making database growth projections."

Then you stated...

"[a] If an entry exists in Q1 that does not exist in Q2,
it must be added to Q2

[b] If an entry exists in Q2 that does not exist in Q1,
it must be deleted from Q2"

This seems to be contradictory since you stated that "Q2
will be populated only once". Could you please explain?

Hi

I hope someone can assist in getting my head around this
problem.

On worksheet "Server 2 Database Space Summary" I have a
QueryTable (lets
call this Q1) containing the following data

DB MB

BIDemo data only

Q1 will be refreshed every day. As you can see the data
represents data and
log usage for a particular data server, and the
possibility exists that
databases may be added or deleted.

On worksheet "Server 2 Projection Seed Values" I have
QueryTable (lets call
this Q2) containing the following data (a subset of Q2's
data)

DB MB

Q2 will be populated only once and will be used as a
baseline for making
database growth projections.

What I need to accomplish here is;

[a] If an entry exists in Q1 that does not exist in Q2,
it must be added to
Q2

[b] If an entry exists in Q2 that does not exist in Q1,
it must be deleted
from Q2

Hope someone can help.

Kind Regards - Grant
