Before we start, I know I can do this via vlookup but it is massively time consuming. You'll see why.

The goal: to figure out when my product will arrive at my assembly centers.

The issue:
I have a spreadsheet from my freight forwarder. It looks like this:

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]PO[/TD]
[TD]SKU[/TD]
[TD]QTY[/TD]
[TD]Depart Date[/TD]
[TD]Destination[/TD]
[TD]Arrival Date[/TD]
[TD]Shipment Status[/TD]

How do I combine these two into some kind of coherent document that can tell me when stuff is coming in? Obviously there are a whole lot more POs, several hundred in fact. Way to many to do by hand.

Every PO in the first sheet is represented on the second sheet. Every PO can have one or more SKUs on it, all with different quantities. The first sheet gives me the PO number and all of the inbound timeline data. The second sheet gives me all of the PO content data. I need them on one sheet. How?
