sql - How to inner-join in Excel (eg. using VLOOKUP) -


is there way inner join 2 different excel spreadsheets using vlookup?

in sql, way:

select id, name sheet1 inner join sheet2 on sheet1.id = sheet2.id; 

sheet1:

+----+------+ | id | name | +----+------+ |  1 |    | |  2 | b    | |  3 | c    | |  4 | d    | +----+------+ 

sheet2:

+----+-----+ | id | age | +----+-----+ |  1 |  20 | |  2 |  21 | |  4 |  22 | +----+-----+ 

and result be:

+----+------+ | id | name | +----+------+ |  1 |    | |  2 | b    | |  4 | d    | +----+------+ 

how can in vlookup? or there better way besides vlookup?

thanks.

first lets list of values exist in both tables. if using excel 2010 or later in sheet 3 a2 put following formula:

=iferror(aggregate(15,6,sheet2!$a$1:$a$5000/(countif(sheet1!$a$1:$a$5000,sheet2!$a$1:$a$5000)>0),row(1:1)),"") 

if using 2007 or earlier use array formula:

=iferror(small(if(countif(sheet1!$a$1:$a$5000,sheet2!$a$1:$a$5000),sheet2!$a$1:$a$5000),row(1:1)),"") 

being array formula, copy , paste formula bar hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter or tab leave edit mode.

then copy down many rows desired. create list of id'd in both lists. assume id number , not text.

then list use vlookup:

=if(a2<>"",vlookup(a2,sheet1!a:b,2,false),"") 

this return value sheet 1 matches.
