Merging Workbook Table data Based upon Value comparisons
I have two workbook tables (Two different workbooks) with two matching column
names. What I wish to do is to merge values from one table to another, but ONLY for those records inwhich these two columns have matching values. Would this be possible? Jay |

Are you saying you have two workbooks, or are the tables within one
workbook? "jayceejay" wrote in message ... I have two workbook tables (Two different workbooks) with two matching column names. What I wish to do is to merge values from one table to another, but ONLY for those records inwhich these two columns have matching values. Would this be possible? Jay |

on this? Pretty please? "jayceejay" wrote: They are in separate workbooks. "Barb Reinhardt" wrote: Are you saying you have two workbooks, or are the tables within one workbook?

Merging Workbook Table data Based upon Value comparisons
If this example describes your situation....
You have 2 workbooks: Book1 and Book2. Each workbook contains a sheet, ListSheet, with a list of names. You want to create a 3rd list which only contains the names common to boths lists that are in Book1 and Book2. ------------------------------- Then, you could try this: Assumptions: 1)Each list has a heading, I'll assume "Names" 2)Each list starts in Cell A1 of the ListSheet 3)Each list has 10 names The method: For each list in Book1 and Book2, B1: Num B2:B11 (Enter a zero in of those cells) Select A1:B11 InsertNameDefine Names in Workbook: NameList Refers to: (already selected) Click the [OK] button Save each workbook Next: Open a new workbook Select cell A1 on any sheet DataConsolidate Function: Count Use Labels in: --Check: Top Row --Check: Left Column Browse to Book1.xls. Reference : (will display the path to the workbook...Append NameList to that path) Click the [Add] button Repeat for Book2.xls Uncheck: Create Links to source data Click the [OK] button Excel will create a list of all names used in either list along with the count of those names. Names with a count of 2 are in both lists. Something you could use? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "jayceejay" wrote: I never did get much of an answer.

Ron:
Thank you so much for your efforts. This isn't PRECISELY what I had in mind but it is close enough for me to fashion a solution. I APPRECIATE what you have done for me!
