I have two files. One is a Word table file with columns of Date, Hours, and
Activity. I also have an Excel file with the columns of Date, Start
Mileage, End Mileage, Miles, and Description. In the Excel file I do
numerical calculations on the mileage. I would like to combine or merge
them into one file. Word does not do a good job with formulas and Excel
does not do a good job with text in my opinion. First, is there a way to
combine the two files into, say Excel, merging or combining on the date
field? If not, is there a way to have Excel better handle text. I want to
combine the two activity records or logs into one at least for next year.
Excel would be the preferred application because of the sorting ability and
numerical ability. But with Excel, I would want a better way to handle the
description of my activities. I may very well be trying to drive square
pegs into round holes and round pegs into square holes but I would like to
try.
I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks George
