Excel - I Need a Wizard
Posted on 3/12/19 at 12:55 pm

I had great success the last time I came here for some Excel advice. I hope the wizards can help me again.
I have a worksheet with two tabs.
Tab 1 Column A lists an asset name.
Tab 1 Column B lists the location of the asset.
Tab 1 Column C,D,E are blank, needs input (from Tab 2).
Tab 2 Column A lists an asset location (without the asset name).
Tab 2 Column B lists an attribute to that location.
Tab 2 Column C lists another attribute to that location.
Tab 2 column D lists a third attribute to that location.
How do I get the data in Tab 2 B,C,D into Tab 1 C,D,E ?
It's about 6000 assets across 636 different locations, which is why I don't want to do this manually.

Does each tab have a line that uniquely identifies the asset? i.e. a common field If so, vlookup.

Define attributes vs assets for the purposes of this.

I'm asking if the assets you discuss here are the asset name in Tab A or the Attributes in Tab B. In other words is there 1 attribute name per attribute location or multiple.
Vlookup sounds like a good option. it may be even easier if the number of rows in Tab A and Tab B are equal (one row per location).

turn both into tables and then use a power query to do a full join to produce the dataset. you'll select location as the column in the menu option.
should have read further vlookup works too.
