Hi!
I have two separate files.
File 1 has text+number content in a column: A1, A2, A3, etc.
File 2 has the same content, and in addition, each one of these values has a corresponding string, in an adjacent column. For example: A1=A1 B1=abc, A2=A2, B2=cde
I want to replace the content of each cell in File 1 with the corresponding content from File 2.
In other words: I am in File 1, and would have to search for the presence of that value in File 2, and replace it with the corresponding content in File 2.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you!
