Im trying to exctract information from three different excel documents.
I want to query the three documents based on e.g a field called
"company name" and gather info in a fourth document where "company
name" is present in all three documents. Is there any way of doing
this, or do I have to do it manually? Or is it possible to merge
documents using parameters to select relevant information? Quite new to
this. Know you it would be better to use a database to do this but do
not have access to one.

you can reference cells in other files using this format:

=[filename.xls]sheetname!A1

that is cell A1 in the other file.
