    using a location reference, combine information from two tabs into a consolidated list

    I have a listing of locations with various management levels indicated in several columns. I also have a listing various test points with location number. The location number is the common link. How can I take combine the information by location number into one schedule which will show the data and the management information, I have attached a shortened sample. The real report has several hundred locations.

    Thanks in advance

    Something like this for the columns in Data:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Data!$A:$I,MATCH('Combined Data'!$A2,Data!$A:$A,0),MATCH('Combined Data'!B$1,Data!$2:$2,0)),"")

    And this for the columns in FGE Store List:

    =IFERROR(INDEX('FGE Store List'!$A:$I,MATCH('Combined Data'!$A2,'FGE Store List'!$H:$H,0),MATCH('Combined Data'!J$1,'FGE Store List'!$1:$1,0)),"")

    See attached. Note I deleted the "Location" column in the right hand set (Q), and removed the two leading 0s in column H of FGE Store List to get them to match. You will need to ensure the location numbers actually match, or if there are always some leading zeroes then this can be dealt with by adding "+0" in the relevant places to force everything to be treated as a number for lookup purposes.

    Can be achieved with Power Query. I notice your profile indicates Office for MAC. This is a windows only solution, so if you have access to a WIN machine then this will work for you
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").

    It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.

    - Follow this link to learn how to install Power Query in Excel 2010 / 2013.

    - Follow this link for an introduction to Power Query functionality.

    - Follow this link for a video which demonstrates how to use Power Query code provided.
