importing two text files to same sheet
I know there are a few similar posts out there but I want a little more
specific information. I am going to be getting two text files from two different databases. All information is coded to specific jobID numbers. I want to be able to import one file and then the other. The part that may be tricky is I want to match the second import information to the JobID from the first import. I hope this makes sense. -- Greg |

importing two text files to same sheet
If you are not sure the rows will all line up appropriately, you should
import the two text files to two different XL sheets and then construct a VLOOKUP formula to conjoin the data.......... hth Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Greg" wrote: I know there are a few similar posts out there but I want a little more specific information.

importing two text files to same sheet
I am familiar with how vlookups work but I'm not sure I follow. The difficult
part of this is that one import may have more than one instance of the same JobID (flattening of parent to child relationship) but the second import will only be solely unique. -- Greg "CLR" wrote: If you are not sure the rows will all line up appropriately, you should import the two text files to two different XL sheets and then construct a VLOOKUP formula to conjoin the data.......... hth Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Greg" wrote: I know there are a few similar posts out there but I want a little more specific information.

I figured out what you suggested with the vlookup. That'll work. I think my
brain left at lunch time. Thanks again -- Greg "Greg" wrote: I am familiar with how vlookups work but I'm not sure I follow.
