Excel - Merging data from 2 separate spreadsheets

If you have data in separate spreadsheets that you want to merge, i.e. 1 row of data related to each individual but with different data and different numbers of individuals on each spreadsheet, what is the easiest way to do this?

RE: Excel - Merging data from 2 separate spreadsheets

Hi Natalie,

Thank you for your question and sorry for the delay in responding.

You will not be able to use the Compare and Merge option if the workbooks are not shared.

If your two workbooks are unrelated such that they are not shared workbooks, and one isn't a 'child' of the other, then you'll have to copy the data from one book to the other either manually or through the use of a macro/vba.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Excel2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
