How to merge several tables with a single lookup table in Excel
Frequently asked questions
I have numerous tables to update but a lookup table is different each time. Is it possible to save my tables and merging options as a scenario but change the lookup table when I run my scenario?
Yes, it is possible to change the lookup table before running a scenario. Start the tool from the worksheet with a new lookup table, select the necessary scenario from the list and the tool will ask you to choose what worksheet to use for a lookup table, the one saved in the scenario or the current one. However, please note that if you choose to use for reference a table other than the one saved in your scenario, both tables must be structured the same way.
If I save a scenario, can it run automatically at a predefined time or specified intervals?
The Merge Several Tables with Single Lookup Table tool works in the interactive mode. To run a scenario, start the tool, select the scenario you need from the list of saved scenarios, and choose which worksheet to use as the lookup table.
In case there are empty cells in the lookup table, can the tool skip them?
Sure, there is an option in Step 7 which allows you to update records only if cells in the lookup table contain data. If you select this option, the add-in will ignore empty cells in the reference worksheet.
How does the tool mark updated records in my worksheets?
The tool can highlight all updated records with the background color of your choice, but you can also choose to add a status column to identify the updated cells and new rows in your tables.

A huge time-saver
I’ve used different versions of this add-in for close to a decade. It is one of the greatest time-saving tools for data wrangling I’ve gotten and I highly recommend it. Especially if you’re looking to do more with Excel but don’t want to be memorizing formulas. It works with a series if “Wizards” or guides How-Tos.
Ablebits customer care Excels
I presented the Ablebits Customer Care Team with an Excel data-column extraction challenge that I lacked the experience or tools to perform. The timeliness of the Team's response, their understanding of the nature of the extraction requested, the expertise conveyed via email, the technical tools, and the supplied demonstration video were most professional. I'm wowed!
