Hello there :-

I have a list in A B and C. Let's call this array ArrayOld
I have another list in F G and H. Let's call this ArrayNew
In ArrayNew, I can have data that are not in ArrayOld.

I would like to update the data in ABC with the ones in FBH. But beware of new data...
All cells are alphanumerical data.

Example :
The Table ArrayNew will update ArrayOLD in change the TASTE of "Dog Blue" and "Fish Blue" To "No" and it will add the "Shark Blue Yes"

TABLE ARRAYOLD

Mick. That is great.
I have double feelings : I am laughing from happiness from that but also I am soooo jealous of your skils.
Where do you find the info about the CreateObject scripting.dictionary. I could have never come up with that.
I was thinking of doing a vlookup and then Row to get the number of the row to delete... then copy paste back... but it was tricky and I was sure someone like you would have a better solution...

Thanks again.
