    Merging two workbooks with overlapping data (zip codes)

    I have two workbooks with different kinds of data (workbook 1 has 30 columns of demographic and workbook 2 has 50 columns of prices.) Some of it overlaps (both have housing and utility cost, and a few other similar columns) and both workbooks have a zipcode column.

    I would like to use the zipcode column to merge all the data into a single workbook.

    How can I do this?

    Thanks.

    Darren

    Fast answers need visual help. Please read the yellow banner at the top of this page on how to attach a file.

    Since you have Excel 365, you can accomplish quickly with Power Query called Get and Transform and found on the Data Tab.

    Thanks for getting me on the right path.

    I used Get Data>From Workbook, then used Get Data>Merge and that seems to be exactly what I was looking for.
