    help merging two tables

    Attached is an excerpt of a larger file. On Sheet 1 there are about 30 locations, each with about 200 item codes. Each item code represents a different bank which has an abbreviated description. On Sheet 2 about 14,000 possible banks and their full description.

    My objective is to merge the two sheets so that the columns going across are:
    Location, Funds, Item Code, Abbreviated Description, Full Description


    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the forum,

    What you can do is adding a column to your worksheet 1, for example column E on your sample file, name it "Full Description" and paste this formula
    =VLOOKUP($C2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$15,2,FALSE)
    on E2 and drag it down. It will lookup the item code and return the description found on worksheet 2.
    (copy pasta from Ford)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Regards,
    Lem
