Hello, so I have two sets of data that I'm working with. Basically, each row in each data set has an id number. the two sets have similar data to id numbers in data set 1 will usually be found in data set 2. I am using this formula to compare the two lists
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(B1,$A$1:$A$15,0)),"",B1)
For those that don't know how the formula works
<tbody>
</tbody>
It looks at at the value in column 2, and then search column 1 for the value. If the value is in column one, then the ISNA is give FALSE, and then the column 2 value is inputed in to the formula value. If the value is not in column one, then the ISNA will give TRUE and the formula value will be blank.
Basically my data sets is more that one column at time. What is want to do is basically the same processing, but instead of formula pasting out a value into a single cell, i want the data be basically copied into multiple cells. Diagram Below. Please let me know i can do this, and if how.
I hope the diagram makes sense.
Thank You in advance for you help.
