Linkage data between two spreadsheets

[vitality]

hi all!

Can anyone help to solve the follow problem:

Spreadsheet A has the follow column:
-PartNo
-VendorCode
-Quantity

Spreadsheet B has
-PartNo
-PartName
-Unit Price

PartNo in both table are related and unique.
There are thousand of data in each spreadsheet. It is impossible to use the if statement to join two tables, Also.. I understand it can use Access to do it very easily, but I do not want to use Access... can I do it in Excel?

How can I join these two tables into one table, has all those information, as:
New spreadsheet
-PartNo
-VendorCode
-Quantity
-PartName
-Unit Price

Thank you very much for any suggestion.

Pls help... since I am not good at any macros or programming skills in Excel, pls kindly explain in a little details as possible.

in the sheet B add two columns vendor code and quantity
name the whole data in sheetA for e.g. as "vendor"
against each part no. in sheet B in the vendor code column, type
=vlookup(partno. cell address,vendor,2,false)- part no.cell address in
sheet B
similarly aginst quantiy column ,type
=vlookup(partno.cell address,vendor,3,false)
copy these two down.
the vendor code and quantity from sheet A will be copied on sheet B

do this experinet for a few rows and see whehter you get what you want
there may be other methods.
