Combine Excel Tables with Common Barcode Column: Merge Data from Two Sheets by Barcode

I have 2 tables, in two separate sheets, for which the column named "barcode" is common.
Is it possible in any easy way to combine these two tables using a common key which is a bar code? I would like to add that the records are in any order and sometimes a record in one table has no equivalent in the other.
In this case, after connecting, one page of the table should be blank.
In the example below, I have 2 tables, each with only two columns.

Barcode | name
44444 | Soap
11111 | Jam
55555 | Cheese

Barcode | Sale
11111 | thirty
44444 | 140
55555 | 233

It is possible in the Access database.

Take advantage of
VLOOKUP (lookup_value, array, column_num, [search range])

The searched value is the code, the array is the code and the second column, the column number is the column from which the information is to be provided, and now the most important:
[search range] must be 0 then Exactly will look for the code and the data does not need to be sorted, if it cannot find the code the function returns an error. So use the IF function here (if the error is blank).

But now I will flash.
Everything as in the post above, i.e. at a friend's marek003 with only one addition.
As you write yourself

and now:

> if the first one has some records and the second one also has a problem - you have to (or not, if you want to) make an additional sheet and "merge" all the codes from both sheets there (I haven't found a clever definition) so that a column with all of them is created but no duplicates.

Thanks for the answer.
Only after watching the below video on youtube, everything became clear to me.

I tried as you wrote, but I didn't know what to mean by the end

the array is the code and the second column "

I thought that the board is a separate sheet, not a range of cells, for example: A1: B10 :)

Quote:

column number is the column from which the information is to be provided "

Here it is worth adding that we count the column number from the beginning of the "range", not from the beginning of the "sheet". See the movie above: 02: 04-02: 15.

So in this case you would have to do a vertical search in "two sides"?
And then as you say, copy the results to a new sheet, removing duplicates?

As if each of the tables that I want to join using the shared key had, say, 10 columns (and not just 2 as in the example above), using horizontal search to join tables probably would not make sense, because after the parameters of the function, I can see that this function copies only 1 column?

Is there any other feature that would help in this situation?
Would the most reasonable solution then be to convert an Excel file to an Access database and generate a query that would join the 2 tables?

In my humble opinion, this is the simplest and fastest solution. After all, after connecting the tables with a query, if necessary, you have the option of returning to Excel.

hey, i'd like to dig up the topic a bit.

I have a similar problem and can't cope.
Two columns are given.

marcin.wp.pl | kazik
kazik.onet.pl | marcin
zosia.giks.eu | Sophie

I need to compare these columns so that next to the Kazik there is an extended version, i.e. kazik.onet.pl and so with each subsequent one.
Vlookup is looking for identical ones, so it won't work for me as for my friend.
I am asking for an idea with a solution, thank you in advance.

I've already done it , but maybe it will be useful to someone, so I post an attachment.
