I have two data sets that look like this
1)
========================================
ColumnA || ColumnB || ColumnC || Column D
========================================
x x x .
y y . y
z z . z
and 2)....
========================================
ColumnA || ColumnB || ColumnC || Column D
========================================
x x . x
y y y .
z z z .
I have missing values in the last two columns in each data set. I want to merge (1-to-1) the two data sets and I want the values from table 1 to go in the cells with the missing values in table 2 and the values in table 2 to go into the cells with missing values in table 1. I tried to use MERGE but this one-to-one match replaces all columns with just the columns from the 2nd data set which just ends up being the same thing. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Look into an update rather than a merge or join.

I think this is what I am looking for. Thank you.
