Merging two tables

I would like to combine two tables. They have one common column(we could maybe assume common column is the first one from the left in the table), and same amount of rows. This is relatively fast to do manually, but doing this hundreds of times would make some macro handy.

I have attached two excel files that includes examples. However the row and column number might change. I understand some VBA but can't write much code from empty table.

I have thought two possibility
1. Creating a macro that sorts tables by the common column and attach the second table without first column to the first table.

or 2.Using vlookup or lookup functions.

Any ideas for the solution? If you can provide any help for the code I would be delighted!

I also found a few commercial programs, but they are not so handy that I would pay 30 dollars (Are there any free?).

Thank you in advance for any tips!

btw. I am using -excel 07

This one is free.

Thank you really much for your help Charlize!

However, I messed up with my post, my intention was to post another table(as now as an attachment) that has more columns. Instead, I posted the same table twice. The code worked great, but is there any way to make it so that it does this work no matter how many columns there are in tables?

Thanks again..

I think this will do the trick.
