how can i merge 2 workbooks using a formula?
Excel 97 - i need to merge 2 fairly large workbooks, however i cannot use
"compare and merge" because my workbooks are not direct copies of each other. There may be a formula to do this, but I'm not sure. Please help!!! |
Hi
you need top provide some more information HOW your files look like: - e.g post some sample data - describe the expected result, - etc. -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "John F" <John schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Thank you! I have 2 workbooks that are both about 5000 lines, both
containing roughly the same column headers and information. The first workbook has a few 1000 rows of incorrect data, the second workbook has several columns of incorrect data. Rather than go through both workbooks line by line, is there a way to merge the correct data over the incorrect data from each workbook???

Can I post both worksheets and let you look at them? For that matter, I'm
not sure how to post attachments. Thank you for your continuing help!!
