I dont know where to post it, but this is the reliable help from geeks I've known for several years
Problem:
I have a version of 2003 of MS EXCEL

for example I have Line A and Line B in the same work sheet

the DATA of Line A has a b c d e and f

the data of Line B has b and d only

if I use this formula Vlookup($A:$A,$B:$B,1,FALSE), it returns b and d in line C but what I want is th the a c e and f

how would I do that.

in discerete Mathematics, vlookup() is the INTERSECTION of 2 sets but what I want is NOT the INTERSECTION of two sets

in my original formula, it has a wild card ( meaning to say... ""&$A:$A&"" was used in vlookup)

Could just be posted to the software development main forum, and tag it appropriately, as Daniweb is moving towards tagging.
