I would be grateful for some help please in knowing how to extract data from two tables in order to create a third. In the example I have two initial tables:-
Table 1 has four columns listing some items against a name. Not all columns will necessarily contain data. Table 1 will never have more that four colums.
Table 2 is headed with a row of all items likely to be found in Table 1, every other cell containing a numerical value. The data in row 2 of Table 2 relates to the same name, as row 2 of Table 1 as does the data in row 3 and so on.
I wish to create Table 3 by interrogating each row in Table1 and where an item name is found extract the numerical value from Table 2 that relates to the same item name and then to write this numerical value into Table 3. The headings of tables 2 and 3 are identical. Some cells in Table 3 will therefore remain blank for some rows.
I have attempted to use Hlookup and Match functions without success. These are sample tables. In reality the tables will contain several hundred rows. Tables 2 and 3 will contain no more than 50 columns.
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated please.
