    Question Merging Two Data Sets into One Table

    I have two sets of data, one from the November 2000 election and another from the November 2004 election. Each set has the same exact categories (Population, Citizen, Registered to Vote, Voted, etc) but with obviously different number values. I need to combine both data sets into one table to do a comparison and calculate the change from 2000 to 2004. I am not sure of the logistics of creating one table with both sets. Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi,
    if you can provide some sample workbook, I am sure we can show you how to use vlookup

    its not asking for some formula to merge them,its asking you to rearrange them in a way you see fit, just copy paste info into a new table with an easier to compare format.how that is laid out is down to you it is after all testing your skills not ours.

    Yes, I know what it's asking of me. I wasn't asking for a formula. I just can't figure out how to do arrange both sets into one table.
