    Combining lists

    Hi all,

    I've had a search through historic posts, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer for this one.

    How can we combine two lists, where items have a unique identifier common to both lists? The hitch: The unique identifier from list two may not appear in list 1, or vise vera. Nor are the identifiers likely to be in the same order.

    In the example below, the aim is to combine two lists - one containing the unique identifier "Name", a "Top", and "Bottom" value, and the other list containing the unique identifier "Name", an "Easting", "Northing", and "RL" value.

    The unique identifier found in list 1 may be found in a completely different line in list 2. so essentially I'm trying to match data line by line with its counterpart.

    Example XLSX
    CombineLists.xlsx

    Result
    CombinedList.jpg

    List 1
    List1.jpg

    List 2
    List2.jpg

    As always, your help is very much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Please do not upload a picture of your file...rather, upload a sample of your workbook, showing what data you are working with, a few samples of your expected outcome is (manually entered is ok) and how you arrived at that. (exclude sensitive info)
    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
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
