    Merge text in sequential order

    I have several files where I am trying to merge data in sequential order and
    make into 1 file.
    Sheet 1 col a is the master. col b and c have data already which I won't
    change. col d is next empty column.

    Sheet 2 has several values that I want to merege into sheet 1 at the
    appropriate place so all values are in sequential order.

    If Sheet 2's value is the same as something already on sheet 1, I just want
    to copy it to the same row, but in col d. If Sheet 2's value doesn't exist
    on Sheet 1, I want to insert a row and paste the value in column a and d.

    Data now looks like this:
    col a col b col c col d
    1a34f45 dummy data
    1a35111 more data

    Sheet 2 looks like this
    col a
    1a34f46
    1a35111

    I would want the final sheet 1 to look like this
    col a col b col c col d
    1a34f45 dummy data
    1a34f46 1a34f46 (new row, data
    entered twice)
    1a35111 more data 1a35111 (matched, so just copied
    to col d)

    Hope this makes sense. I've got a loop with if then stmts but I'm sure
    there is a more efficient way to do this.

    RE: Merge text in sequential order

    I'm really looking for the sort macro, I've seen one where you set a temp
    holder, compare it to the next value, if less than switch values etc. I can
    do the rest. Not sure if this posting will cause it to look like the request
    is closed.
