FILE 1
data: Column A, B and C
FILE 2
data: Column A, and D
Use FILE 1 as the primary file.
Final Result: should have A , B C and D together in 1 spreadsheet.
Problem : Look up function but seems like it doesn't work well. the data is jumble up. I still to check using True false function. cos what is avai in A may not be found in B.
Pri file has more information ( in terms of number of names ) than file 2.
name data1 data2 data3
and in file 2:
name data1 data2 data3 data4
