Combining files in Excel
 
2 simple things that i can't seem to do
#1 have 2 spreadsheets - no formulas - both spreadsheets have same column
headers ; need to paste contents of one at the bottom of the other; get the
error that the paste area is a different size than the copy area. How can I
add these rows to my spreadsheet?

#2 once that's done, have a third file'; third file has member id (common to
both files) want to match those people who are in thir file to those in first
and pull a field (email) from third file and put it on the record in the
first...
Thanks

Copy the data from spreadsheet 1, click on the next spreadsheet, click on a
cell you want and paste.

You could sort the entire list and use filters to pull the emails.

You can also use VLOOKUP to bring in the e-mail address since the member id
is common to both spreadsheets.
