    help merging two tables

    Attached is an excerpt of a larger file. On Sheet 1 there are about 30 locations, each with about 200 item codes. Each item code represents a different bank which has an abbreviated description. On Sheet 2 about 14,000 possible banks and their full description.

    My objective is to merge the two sheets so that the columns going across are:
    Location, Funds, Item Code, Abbreviated Description, Full Description


    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the forum,

    What you can do is adding a column to your worksheet 1, for example column E on your sample file, name it "Full Description" and paste this formula

    on E2 and drag it down. It will lookup the item code and return the description found on worksheet 2.

    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Regards,
