Can you elaborate on option 1 below.
I have a similar problem; let's say I have these tables:

Date FieldA
1/1/2006 3
1/2/2006 4

Date FieldB
1/1/2006 10
1/3/2006 15

I want to end up with:

Date FieldA FieldB
1/1/2006 3 10
1/2/2006 4 NULL
1/3/2006 NULL 15

p.s. NULLs could be 0 rather; that would also be OK


I tried Access, but it does not seem to work for me!?
I added 2 linked-excel tables for the above 2 tables.
But then, I am not sure how to do the joing? i.e. "then use a query to join
the information...": i.e. how is that done?

Thank you,

Nicolas

There are a number of methods depending on how often you want to do
this, how much data, what you are going to do with the results.

Options include:
1. (neat and good for large volumes of data)
set up the spreadsheets as linked tables in access and then use a query
to join the information together

2. like 1 but only for the technical do the same as 1 but useing ado in
macro to populate another sheet (or workbook)

3. Simply
make a list of all the employees on a new sheet. use vlookup (this site
has plenty of info on how to use vlookup) to pull in data for the other
columns.

4. moderately complex (but all excel)
a macro to merge the two sets of data

Let us know what you think and maybe you will get more detailed help
