Match/ Merge columns
 

I wrote a previous message, but I didn't know if it was clear. I am trying
to take data from the months of March and April and merge them together to
get one complete spreadsheet of each person's account for each month. Is
there a way to do this? I have been sorting by ID# and doing the rest
manually.

You data structure is not good, if you could get the date as the last
column (Field) against every record then a pivot table would work great,
with customers and accounts as a row field, the balance as a value field and
the date (month) as a column field.
