Hello guys im totally new here and i want to ask a question.
I have two excel sheets that i want to merge. Let me explain what i want to do and i hope u understand.
Both of them have one column let say column C the same.
I want a macro that checks column C identifies the same numbers that i have written in column C on both sheets and then to copy from the second sheet everything that is written in Column D and E to sheet 1 next to Column C.

Example

Sheet 1:
Column C

4002919-6
4002515-8
7215444-6
7235445-7

Sheet 2:
Column C Column D

4002510-6 TEST1
4002515-8 Test2
7216455-8 Test3
7215444-6 Test4

I want to find the same numbers from Column C and then to sheet 1 to copy the contents of Column D. Whenever there is no match field to leave Column D in Sheet 1 empty.

I hope u understand what i mean.

Thanx a lot

Hi Savgeorg,

To keep the cell empty when there isn't a match I added the ISERROR function to the formula of Rizvisa:
