Best way to pull ID numbers to match Names

Brass Contributor

Hello!

 

I have two sheets, both have employee ID numbers. One sheet has their corresponding name, and the second sheet has their corresponding phone number.

 

The issue I am running into is one data pull gives me 200+ results (sheet 1), and the second gives me a larger criteria (400+ results). The second sheet gives me extra non-exempt employees but I can't exactly just do a quick filter to remove, I thought the best way would be to match the ID numbers.

 

Sheet 1:

Employee IDNameContact Info
1100Jane Smith 

 

 

Sheet 2:

Employee IDContact Info
1100555-2345

How would be the best way to combine these to reflect all the info on sheet 1? 

 

Thank you!

You can use XLOOKUP or VLOOKUP on Sheet1 to return the phone number from Sheet2:

 

=XLOOKUP(A2, Sheet2!A:A, Sheet2!B:B. "")

 

If you want to add the IDs from Sheet2 that don't occur on Sheet1, you can use VSTACK and UNIQUE to combine the two lists on another sheet.
