Excel 2003: Copy rows from one workbook into another without losinginterleaved data
Hi All,
I have workbook#1 which contains rows of information which I need to copy into workbook#2. This is simple the 1st time but the data in workbook#1 does change and therefore periodically I need to update workbook#2 with the new data. The problem is that in workbook#2 in between the rows new rows shall be inserted containing other information. When I update #1=#2 I do not want to lose the new rows. So: WB#1 WB#2 Needed Outcome 1 AAAA AAAA 1 to 1 2 BBBB 1111 3 CCCC BBBB 2 to 3 4 DDDD 2222 5 CCCC 3 to 5 6 3333 7 DDDD 4 to 7 I hope I have explained this clearly enough. I have tried to set a filter in WB#2 so that only the ABCD rows are shown and then manually copied across however excel is too clever and instead copies the data over the 1234 rows. If someone can help then it is appreciated. Thanks Steve |

I think the VLOOKUP FUNCTION should work for what you are wanting to do...

I linked the cells in the 1st workbook to the 2nd. ....Which leads to another question which I'll post separately. Thanks Steve |
