Default Merge different excel spreadsheets w/common range but differnt val

If you import or link your text file (or even the original table/query from
the non-MS DB, if possible) in Access. You should then be able to produce a
query, JOINing your 2 tables on Name.
Get the results of this query in Excel as you are currently doing. Or make a
report in Access.

Hi, I have an Access database that I have exported into Excel. There are
many fields for each record. One field is common to this sheet and to
another sheet that is I have generated from a delimited txt file produced

by
running a batch query on a different non-microsoft databse. Is there any

way
to combine the two sheets into one, using the common range, but

individually
by the differnt values contained in that range. I.E. Col A = Name B=Age
C=Height D=weight and the next sheet Col A=Name B=Mass C=Color

D=Birthday.
I want to produce a report that has all the fields combined and

specifically,
the correct data attributed to the correct name. I have tried pivot tables
and looked at consolidation, but neither seems to work for me. Appreciate
your suggestions and assistance.
