[TD]Remarks[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A1[/TD]
[TD]ABC. EFG. HIJ[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]



I have 2 sheets which are duplicates in data. Sheet 1 is the master sheet and the Sheet 2 is for someone to add any additional comments. Just say I have updated with more comments in the remarks column in Sheet 1 as such:

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Sheet 1[/TD]
[TD]Remarks[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A1[/TD]
[TD]ABC. XYZ.[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

My colleague had already updated with comments on Sheet 2 with his own input on the initial text. Now how do I combine his updated text and my updated text without duplicating data. The result I want would be something like this:

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Sheet 1[/TD]
[TD]Remarks[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A1[/TD]
[TD]ABC. XYZ. EFG. HIJ[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Would not want to see a result anything like this:
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Sheet 1[/TD]
[TD]Remarks[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A1[/TD]
[TD]ABC. XYZ. ABC. EFG. HIJ[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I hope the above explains what I am trying to day. I would greatly appreciate any help and thank you in advance.

Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
