    updating main sheet

    I have a very large dataset with about 200.000 rows of information (in 6 columns). The idea is to regularly update this sheet with information from other sheets (usually 100.000 rows). Both sheets have a unique identifier.
    What's the best way to do this? If I loop through all the rows it will take forever.

    Basic explanation of my data:
    Main sheet:
    Column A = unique identifier (street & zipcode)
    Column B = price
    Column C = ....
    Column D = date

    Other sheets:
    Column A = unique identifier (street & zipcode)
    Column B = price
    Column C = ....
    column D= date

    If a record from other sheets is allready in main sheet then I just want to add a extra column in the main sheet sheet with date from column D.

    Any ideas?

    Re: updating main sheet

    It will take time, your code will need to check every entry
    Hope that helps.
