Append data from two worksheets with different structures

{ 2 Comments }

Assume a file with two worksheets.  The first worksheet has data in column A:H (8 columns) and the second one has data from B:J (9 columns).  One may want to create a third worksheet with specific columns of data appended from both worksheets – the columns to be shown in the third worksheet are not  at the same position on both worksheets i.e. while the Inventory Date data is in column A on sheet1, it is in column H on sheet2.

You may refer to my solution in “Resultant Data – final” worksheet of this workbook.

I have solved this problem using Power Query – a free add-in from Microsoft for Excel 2010 and higher versions.  The result is dynamic and refreshable (just as in a Pivot Table).

You may watch a short video of my solution here

  • Hello,

    I want to perform this operation with formulae instead of Power query. Can you advise?

    Thanks,
