I have a list in excel (version 2003) with employee data that I need to
match
to an insurance billing. Both workbooks have Employee names, SS#'s,
Insurance
Type and Insurance amounts. I need to combine these 2 workbooks so the
data
is arranged in the consolidated workbook side by side according to SS# so
I
can compare the insurance amounts for each employee and calculate the
differences.
