Hi,

I have two tables that have one column with similar values. I need to create a table that would merge the data from both the tables based on the matched values.

I have prepared a Sample Sheet.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wq1nin6x6v0gfxg/Sample for Help.xlsx?dl=0

Concatenating the tables and VLooking up the data is not an option since only the lookup values are same but not the corresponding data.

I have searched extensively but unable to find anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you so much Mick. This works perfectly.

Just one question. If my Table are present in different files, then how will the T1 and T2 value be set. For example: Table1 filename is List.xlsx and Table2 Filename is Prod.xlsx.

Thank again for taking out time to help.

Kind Regards.

Hello Mick,

I have added some codes from various places to the code that you provided in order for users to select a file instead of hard-coding the file name. I am stuck at setting the dynamic ranges
and
. The actual files will have close to 150K records in each file. So, instead of hard-coding the range, I am trying to dynamically set the values of
and
.

Would you please let me know how to set the ranges dynamically.

Here is the entire code:

Code:
Sub GetFilesAndMerge()
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+V

'First-off setting the current workbook in a workbook variable so that after opening First & Second Files, The Data is Merged in this File instead of any other File
'https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12386448/vba-changing-active-workbook

Dim CurrentWorkBook As Workbook
Set CurrentWorkBook = ActiveWorkbook

'Following is the code I searched for on the internet.
'https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/551609-vba-how-open-file-input-user-via-browse.html

'The Following Code is Going to Ask User To Select The First File

Dim ListFileNameandPath As Variant, LWB As Workbook
ListFileNameandPath = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.XLSX), *.XLSX", Title:="Select First File")
If ListFileNameandPath = False Then Exit Sub
Set LWB = Workbooks.Open(ListFileNameandPath)

'The Following Code is Going to Ask User To Select The Second File

Dim ModelFileNameandPath As Variant, MWB As Workbook
ModelFileNameandPath = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.XLSX), *.XLSX", Title:="Select Second File")
If ModelFileNameandPath = False Then Exit Sub
Set MWB = Workbooks.Open(ModelFileNameandPath)


'Following is the code that I received from Mick

    For Each Dn In T2
        If Not .exists(Dn.Value) Then
            .Add Dn.Value, Dn
        Else
            Set .Item(Dn.Value) = Union(.Item(Dn.Value), Dn)
        End If
    Next

            End If
        Next ac
    Next R
  End If
Next Dn
End With

Try this:-
NB:- When you selecting files I think the first file selected, is the first in the folder list, so it important to know your files are in the correct order, other wise there will be problems.
Also its important that the selected files relate to the same sheets/Ranges as the code!!.
This code relies entirely on the correct selection of the files !!!
Code:
