Hello everyone, first post here, GREAT forum I'm sure I'm going to be coming here a lot!

My question might be a bit hard to describe/understand.

I have two excel files with one table in each file. In each file, the table contains (amongst other columns) two columns: "item" and "number". Now, in Table #1 I have a bunch of entries, with the "item" and "number" columns filled out and matched perfectly. Just the way I want it.

Now, in Table #2, I have even MORE entries than Table #1. Included in the "item" column of Table #2 are ALL of the entries from Table #1 and more. However, the "number" column of Table #2 contains just random numbers, that sadly are nonsense and do not match up with the "item" column at all.

For example, let's say that in Table #1 one row contains item="New Treadmill" and number="30". And in Table #2, a row contains item="New Treadmill" and number="4". What I would like to do is have all those "number" entries in Table #2 match up with the number entries in Table #1. So in this example, the row in Table #2 would also read item="New Treadmill" and number="30".

If both tables contained the exact same "item" entries, it would be easy to accomplish this as I could just alphabetize the "item" columns for both and copy & paste the "number" column values from Table #1 to Table #2. But I cannot do this as both tables also contain other rows.

I hope I did a good enough job explaining this problem. Any help is much appreciated!!!
