    depends on how you want to merge them

    the easiest way is usually
    just using a =cell to bring the information accross into the correct cell and then copy it down/accross as needs be
    for example sheet one has columns - name, product number, sell by date and the other is product number, sell by date, name so use the ='cell' to get the correct informaiton in the correct column
    or
    a =vlookup if you are wanting to merge extra details about something onto a line with other details about it for example sheet 1 has name and product number and sheet 2 has product number and sell by date, then you do a vlookup on the product number to bring the extra detail accross

    it really does depends on the type of merge you want to do
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
  • cheers for the quick replies thanks alot
