Hi.
My first post but I hope I can get some help from You guys :)
I've browsed the forums, but it's just to much for me at this time :/
I'm an intern and my supervisior asked me to do this task - but my experience with coding is meh

What I need to do is to get a sting from column x row 1 to something (one by one) in file_x.xls and find that string in column y in file_y.xls (also one by one). chceck description of the record we find in file_y (if there is none - copy description from file_x, if there is copy to description2 column). description is of numeric value.

Help, help, help, help, and help
Where do i start?
Best regards
desperate intern :)
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
