Hello,
Respected Seniors and friends,
Feeling proud here among You ALL
Happy Holi
Holi is an auspicious festival of India.
I’m not good in English so please bear with me,
I attached picture of my query here named Chandus problem.png . Please help.

(1) I have an excel file
(2) The File has 9 columns viz,
COL A, COL B, COL C, COL D, COL E, COL F, COL G, COL H, COL I
(3) COL A includes Name entries
(4) COL H also includes Name entries.
(5) All Names of COL H are in COL A but,
All Names of COL A are not in COL H
(6) COLUMNS B, C, D, E, F, G and I have numerical data but,
COL I has data corresponding to COL H’s Names and COL H has Names
among majority Names are present in COL A.

What I want,

I want to Merge (Replace) all entries of COL H into COL A and then delete COL H.
So, COL I becomes COL H.
Want, To set entries of COL I (now COL H) against corresponding Replaced entries of COL A.
Want to allot value ZERO (0) in COL H, against entries of COL A which are not replaced by entries of COL H

Thanks in advance,
Yours,
Chandu

Attach it on a share site and then post the link
https://authentification.site

You can use VLOOKUP

in Cell J2 (assuming your data starts at row 2) write

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, H:I,2, FALSE)), 0, VLOOKUP(A2, H:I,2, FALSE))
Drag this formula down to the last row of your data

Select COl J and do copy and then paste special and choose values. Now you can delete the H and I columns as this new column is what you wanted

But it is exactly as I said.

I have not not done, the part of copy and paste special to show you how in newly created column K the values are as you wanted.

If I do copy and paste special as values in column K and delete column H and I and J. How it will look different from what you have
