Merge from Excel to Excel
I have the need to merge a data base of names (in exel) into a standardized
excel sheet to be used as payroll timesheets. I have been merging the excel data base into a word document that was the timesheet, but Corporate has changed the format into an excel timesheet. We are not allowed to change the format. Is it possible to merge an excel data base into another worksheet? jm |

jm,
If the layouts of the rows are the same, just paste the rows from the first sheet under the standardized sheet, then sort as needed. If they're not the same, get them that way first. You can quickly re-arrange columns by selecting one, and hold Shift as you move (edge-drag) it right or left. -- Earl Kiosterud mvpearl omitthisword at verizon period net ------------------------------------------- "dalstar" wrote in message ...

Not sure I follow. I was hoping there was some command that would perform
similar to the "mail merge" in Word. The data base is a listing of employees. The new timesheet is arranged in excel. At the top of the timesheet is a cell noted as 'Name'. I want to merge the name into the timesheet from the data base worksheet. Note: the data base and timesheet are 2 different workbooks.

jm,
I see. You want a merge like that in Word. Excel doesn't do that. Use a Word mail-merge, or an Access report (printout). Sometimes the word merge is used in the sense of combine. If you must do it in Excel, it can be done either via a macro, or for ad-hoc single records (you want only a particular one), with formulas. -- Earl Kiosterud mvpearl omitthisword at verizon period net ------------------------------------------- "dalstar" wrote in message ...
