Match and extract
I have 2 files. Column A of File1 has a short list of words but with no
meaning next to them. Whereas, File2 the reference file, contains a long list of words together with their meanings in Column B. How can I match and extract the information from File2 to Column B in File1? For instance, it should not match "merge" with "emerge". Much appreciate your help. Regards, Tom |

Hi Tom,
VLOOKUP function. For the following example sssume that your File1 is Book1 and File2 is Book2. Formula placed in cell B2 in Book1. Copy formula down. =VLOOKUP(A2,[Book2]Sheet1!$A$2:$B$28,2,FALSE) Regards, Ossiemac "Tom" wrote: I have 2 files. Column A of File1 has a short list of words but with no meaning next to them.
