    compare data in 2 columns across 2 sheets and then copy data

    Hi,

    I have two sheets - that contain album artist/track name data and one of the sheets also contains a billboard chart number. I want to compare the data on sheet 1 - columns are Artist/Title - with sheet 2 columns Artist/Title - if there is a match I want to copy data Chart from sheet 2 (which is in the 3rd column on sheet 2) to Chart Column o(third column) n sheet 1. Hopefully this makes sense.

    Sheet 1
    Artist/Title/Chart (all chart data currently blank)

    Sheet 2
    Artist/Title/Chart

    If Artist/Title match on both sheets - copy chart data from sheet 2 to chart column on sheet 1 in matching spot.

    If this can be done easily I may want to be able to copy two or three columns from sheet 2 if Artist and Title match - so if directions for this could be provided that would be great.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can do this with formulae relatively easily, eg:

    however the above is not overly efficient... if you could add a concatenation of Artist & Title on sheet2 then you can use a more efficient approach

    in the above we assume Col A holds Artist, Col B holds Title & Col C Chart (where appl.)

    edit: if Chart is numeric you could use SUMIFS

    should also note we're assuming only one instance of Artist & Title on Sheet2 (if at all)
