I have two excel files which contain our archiving information. For some
reason people have been using both to enter data.

Is there anyway that I can merge the two file so that both have the same
data but does not loose data from either file.

Help

The only way I know to do something like this is completely manual.

Tell people to stop populating both workbooks--no changes until you're done!

Then set up each worksheet so that the columns are in the same position and same
order. Insert empty columns or move columns if you need to.

Then copy and paste the data from one into the other.

Then do lots of sorts to put the similar rows near each other. And then eyeball
each group to determine which field from which row should be kept.

It ain't fun.

Good luck.
