Hello
I'm a bit of a noob and need some help!
I have 2 property spreadsheets to combine, the both have roughly the same data but both have some missing compared to each other and most data has been changed/updated. So I wish to combine and update both into a master spreadsheet without creating duplication of those rows/fields/cells which have not changed.
So far I have only been able to merge the spreadsheets with duplication of the rows, there is to much data to filter manually. I've been trying to work out a formula to combine both sheets based upon the only constant cells throughout both sheets which is the data held in column C (Code) which is unique to each building. The building names have been changed and the owners are constantly changing.
Here's an example
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]E[/TD]

[TR]
[TD]Community[/TD]
[TD]Building Name[/TD]
[TD]Code[/TD]
[TD]Unit[/TD]
[TD]Name[/TD]

[TD]Uptown 1[/TD]
[TD]Block A[/TD]

[TD]Uptown 3[/TD]
[TD]A Block[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]302[/TD]
[TD]Smith[/TD]

</tbody>[/TABLE]
I'd greatly appreciate any advice you could give me.
