Question

I have a two Microsoft excel sheet file1 and file2.

file1 contain following CPU info.

hostname  | CPULoad
_________________________
server1   |   10%
server10  |   3%
server25  |   37%

file2 contain Memory Usage info.

hostname   | Memory Usage
_________________________
server12   |   8GB
server25   |   2GB
server10   |   999MB

I want to merge this sheet in single sheet so it search Host name from file1 and pull out Memory usage data from file2 and merge them in single file. I know we can do in Excel but I don’t know how?

Answer 1

The simplest way would be to use VLOOKUP like this:

=VLOOKUP(first cell on destination sheet, range on second sheet including both columns, number of the memory usage column, 0)

Drag this formula down and you will get all your memory usages.
