Matching 2 different data sets with client data
Hi MrMilo
Not mandatory but easier, format the data in your 2 files as Tables. For below steps it's assumed your tables are named (How To rename a Table) respectively Table1 and Table2
From a new workbook (assuming this is what you want):
- Go to Data (tab) > Get Data > From File > From Excel Workbook > Select 1st file
- In the Navigator > Select Table1 > At the bottom click on the arrow down next to "Load" > Load To... > Only Create Connection > OK
- Go to Data (tab) > Get Data > From File > From Excel Workbook > Select 2nd file
- In the Navigator > Select Table2 > At the bottom click on the arrow down next to "Load" > Load To... > Only Create Connection > OK
On the right side of your screen you see the Queries & Connections pane with 2 queries:
- Right-click on Table1 > Merge
- Follow the steps - Starting at #3 - in section Perform a Merge operation
