Default Is it possible to join columns where there is a match?


Any guidence here will be much appreciated.

It it possible to have one worksheet with unique values and anothe
worksheet with values realated to those unique values in a secon
worksheet, and have a routine where either import the second workshee
columns to the first where there is a match, or create a thir
worksheet with the results?

(similar to an outer loin in SQL??)

Or do I need Access to do this (I dont really want to go there.)?

Cheers

wayn

Normal way to do this is with Lookup formula's.
Look at HLookup and VLookup in the VBA help.
You can do it with SQL as well though. Here is a post
that explains how that works:
