Compare worksheets for duplicates and copy data to 1st worksheet
I have two worksheets. One with 1000 rows of part numbers (SHEET1) and the
other with 16000 rows of part numbers (SHEET 2). I would like to compare the sheets. If "SHEET 2" has a matching part number in "SHEET 1"; then copy the data in "SHEET 2" - columns B, C & D for that matching part number to "SHEET 1" columns E, F & G. In other words add the information to the end of that row. I can use VLookup, but end up with bunches of #N/A's that I would have to delete. Is there a better way? |

You can still use VLookup just include an error test.
=if(iserror(vlookup("your arguments here")),"",vlookup("Same formula as earlier")) Instead of showing an error this will show nothing. -- JNW "Monique" wrote: I have two worksheets.

Thanks. I also now understand the "iserror" test!
