I am working with 3 different workbooks that contain some similar data. I am
trying to find a way I can match up that data in a separate workbook. The first workbook I pull off a website, the other two are also pull out of a company website. These three sites give me a option to save as excel spreadsheet. What is constant in these three spreadsheets is the PO number, part number, some times a date reference. Its very time consuming, being I have to perform this on a daily basis. What would be the best way to get this done. |

Without more information about the content and layout of the imported
worksheets, and what you need to do with the available information in each it's difficult to give you an on-point response. Best I can do at the moment is recommend you start investigating the VLOOKUP() worksheet function in Excel's Help. It may be that you need to use the somewhat less flexible (but in some ways more flexible) LOOKUP() function. Those should work well if all you need to match is the PO number. It may be that you may need to use something like SUMPRODUCT() if you're trying to retrieve information based on multiple conditions like PO # *and* date or part number. And then there's the potential for INDEX(rectangle,MATCH(),MATCH()) also. Again, what to recommend or suggest really depends on a more detailed explanation of your data and what you want to do with it.
