welcome, glad we got that out of the way <g

On your new query, using an INDEX/MATCH should work for you ..

Assuming you want to bring over Sheet2's col G values into Sheet1 based on
matching col A in Sheet1 vs col D in Sheet2

In Sheet1,

Put in say, E2:
=IF(A2="","",IF(ISNA(MATCH(A2,Sheet2!D:D,0)),"",IN DEX(Sheet2!G:G,MATCH(A2,Sheet2!D:D,0))))
Copy down to the last row of data in col A.

Adapt this part in the formula: INDEX(Sheet2!G:G,..
to suit the col that you want to bring over from Sheet2

Max, Thank you for the prompt reply.

It gave me what I asked for! Brilliant

However, let me explain, I just realised this was not completely what I
needed.

Sheet1 contains all my up to date datum and sheet2 has "new datum".

Sheet1 contains 4500 entries and sheet2 only 2500.

Most of sheet2's info are also in sheet1 but obviously not everything.

I now need to put the new datum into sheet1. Sheet2 has got new columns
which I need to create in sheet1.

Let me give you an example,

Sheet1 has got name and number and address
Sheet2 only number(which corresponds with sheet1's number) but in sheet 2 I
have a field for attended a Meeting which there are no similar fields in
sheet1.
I now need to put that info into sheet1.

Thanks again and I hope this makes sense

One way ..

Assume col A in Sheet1 is to be compared with col D in Sheet2

In Sheet1,

Put in say, E2:
=IF(A2="","",ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,Sheet2!D:D,0)))
Copy down to the last row of data in col A. Now you can autofilter on col E.

I want to merge two sheets and use the merged data in a new sheet.

Both my sheets contains similar info but there are fields that differ.

I need Column A from one sheet to look in Column D of the other one to see
if that one contains the same info. A simple return like False or True would
be enough for me.

One sheet contains 2500 entries and the other 4500.

I'll filter the results afterwards.

Any help would be appreciated
