Help with spreadsheet
Hello,
I have 2 spreadsheets and I would like to compare the 2, on one I have a serial # and a name and on the other I have a serial # and a date. I would like to combine the 2 spreadsheets into one by matching up the 2 serial #'s... does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks Gavin... |

A simple VLOOKUP should do it. Look in the help index

Example only................
sheet1 has serial numbers in column E and model numbers in column F sheet2 has same serial numbers in column A and Computer Name in column B In G1 of sheet1 enter =VLOOKUP(E1,sheet2!$A$1:$B$557,2,false) Copy that down column G BTW...........what happened to the "date" on sheet2?

here's the catch, the serial numbers are not the same, the sheet2 may or may
not have the serial# in sheet1, what I want to do is match up the ones that are in sheet2 with sheet1 and if there is no match just put a "no match" in the cell... is this possible... for example Column A Column B Computer Name Serial # computer1 1234 (sheet2) computer2 1235 computer4 1237 Model # Serial # Dell 620 1234 (Sheet1) Dell 620 1235 Dell 620 1236 Dell 620 1237 Model # Serial # Computer Name Dell 620 1234 computer1 (sheet1 Column C) this us what I am trying to achive... Dell 620 1235 computer2 Dell 620 1236 No Match Dell 620 1237 computer 4 Thanks Gavin... "Gord Dibben" <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...

Use the match index as suggested by Don. Here is the sample formula
for cell C2- =index(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$10,match(b2,Sheet1!$B$1:$b$1 0,1),1) On Aug 29, 5:19*pm, "Don Guillett" wrote: vlookup has to lookup columns to the right. So, use MATCH to find the serial number in col B and then use that within an INDEX formula on col A to get the computer name.
