Hello. I am trying to add information from one spreadsheet onto another. The spreadsheet I am adding to contains part numbers, descriptions and prices. I want to add weights for each part number from another spreadsheet that contains part numbers with weights. My problem is that the part number lists are not exactly the same. The source list has more part numbers than the destination list. I tried a LOOKUP function to search the imported list with the weights hoping to return the weight to a column that correlates to the list with the prices. Is there a different function or a different syntax I can use to accomplish this?
