| I have two excel files.
| One file has vendor number and vendor name.
| The second file has vendor number and payment information based on vendor
| number.
| I want to use the two files to say if vendor number on my paid filr (second)
| is showing up then match it to the vendor number on my (first) file and
| popuate the name of the company for me on my (second) file.
|
| This will allow me to see what companies have paid.
|
| I am wondering what is the best formula for this logic?
