    Update an inventory list with new parts and pricing

    Not sure if this is general Excel or programming. But my company uses Excel spreadsheets to do inventory values instead of our inventory software, and I am updating the list from last year with new pricing. I kicked out an excel spreadsheet of the current pricing from the inventory software (SAGE100), and added it as the last sheet in my inventory workbook. Then I went to the current inventory page (where I put in the count and excel calculates that part's $$value in the inventory) and used Vlookup down the price column to reference the new sheet and update the pricing. The problem is, I also have new parts on the new sheet, that aren't listed in my categorized inventory sheet where the pricing is updating... Is there a way to use the same new sheet, to update the current inventory sheet? Or at least have the current sheet add a group of new rows at the bottom that are the new parts not listed above on the new sheet?

    Edit: Is there a "list non-duplicate rows" function?

    It may be easier if you show an example with sample data and the results you are looking for. But you could: A) add the new inventory items in Sage (I believe there is an import function in Sage) B) Give a unique Prefix to identify the NEW PARTS not listed (this way you could have it's own lookup table if needed).
    - You can get a list of duplicate items by way of Conditional Formatting which will highlight the duplicates.

    Re: Update an inventory list with new parts and pricing

    So I had a thought while I was fixing the #N/A results from my Vlookup's:

    If I go to the new sheet with the current price list, and use a vlookup type function
    -I can't remember which one says 'this data(cell reference), in that table, exists or doesn't exist'
    -then I can just copy/paste those rows into the current inventory sheet...

    Re: Update an inventory list with new parts and pricing

    The new parts came out of SAGE in the "new pricing" spreadsheet. Now I need to add them to the existing inventory sheet - I copied last year's inventory workbook and cleared the quantity columns, then changed the pricing in the cleared sheet to vlookup formulas that look at the "new pricing" sheet I spit out of SAGE. Now I want to add parts from "new pricing" to the copied inventory sheets from last year's workbook. Because the formatting and categorizing and breaking up to make it look the way the accounting department needs it to look took me about 4 hours last year when I just formatted and broke up the "new pricing" spreadsheet last year... I want to avoid that by just adding the new parts from this year's "new pricing" sheet.
