Default VLOOKUP

I can't remember how to use VLookup! I have to worksheets with columns of
common data I need to "merge" the two without duplicates. Can someone tell me
how to write the formula in layman's terms please! Thank you!

Hi Lori,

Even better, see Chip Pearson's Highlighting Duplicates page at :

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/duplic...tingDuplicates

At the foot of that link, there are three sections:

Extracting Unique Entries

Extracting Values Common To Two Lists

Extracting Values On One List And Not Another

which should be of particular interest.

Hi Lori,

The opening:

Even better


was, of course, a response to your closing question, and not, as might
appear to the casual seqential reader, a comment on the interposed response!

In fact David has provided you with a link to his excellent Vlookup
tutorial.
