Dear Experts
Please can you assist. I have column A and B in workbook 1 and column C in workbook 2. Column A and C contains some material numbers that match. I have to compare these two columns and pull the data from column B to align with the material number in column C where these are the same as the material number in column A.
Example:
| Workbook 1 | |
| Material Number | Type |
| 123 | a1 |
| A75 | af |
| 582_CM | sg |
| Workbook 2 | |
| Material Number | Type |
| K227 | |
| 123 | |
| H-1000P |
Thank you Kindly Jans

You may consider the formula "vlookup" to do the things.
Since it is referring to another workbook, I suggest to copy and paste with values after getting the necessary data.
Hi
Thank you for your response. Its much appreciated. A second question that I have is regarding comparison of data in two columns. I need to find numbers in column B that match the numbers in column A. Where column B does not have a matching number in column A, column B cells must shift down and leave blanks cells up to the next matching number in A?

Sorry... I don't understand your question. Would you please attach a sample file with explanation to demonstrate the input you have and the output you want?
