    How to link separate Excel files to auto-populate cells

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and typically only use Excel for it's basic functions. I have multiple .csv files that will be analyzed in R. I would like to link a master dataset Excel file to the .csv files to auto-populate some cells to make data entry more manageable. The .csv files contain additional columns of data, but will share 4 columns in common with the master dataset. As an example:

    I would like to be able to enter EITHER band name OR song title and have the other three columns auto-populate with the appropriate information. Here's what the master sheet would look like:

    Band_Name Song Album Release_Year
    Elton John Runaway Train The One 1992
    Metallica Cure Load 1996
    The Cure Friday I'm in Love Wish 1992
    Radiohead Pyramid Song Amnesiac 2001

    Thanks for any help you can provide!
