Merging Customer Databases and Updating Rows
- Sep 28, 2020
Power Query can "join" the 6 different sheets using the unique "CustomerID".
Basic process:1) Click a data cell in first worksheet then use menu path: Data > From Table/Range. This creates a Query. Click Close and Load (down arrow) > Close and Load to > Only Create Connection
2) Repeat step one for all other worksheets. On last worksheet, do not click close and load.
3) Click first query then Merge Queries (down arrow) > Merge Queries as New
4) Add second Query and select Customer ID in both queries, Select Join Kind Inner Join. Click OK
5) Select Merge1 query and expand new column unchecking CustomerID.
6) Select Merge1 query then Merge Queries (not as new).
7) Repeat 4, 5, & 6 until all 6 queries are merged then click Close and Load to > Only Create Connection
7) Right click Merge1 in Queries & Connections panel and select Load to > Table > New worksheet
If you need help, send copy of workbook and I'll take care of it.
If you have unique ID you may use XLOOKUP to combine the data into one table. Perhaps Power Query will be better, but it require bit more effort on initial period if you never used it.
