Hi all,

I have two excel files. In each file two columns are there. In first file ID And FirstName columns are there. In second file ID And LastName columns are there.

In both files ID column values are same. Now my requirement is compare those id columns in two files and replace the FirstName Column(in First File) values with SecondName Column(in Second File) values to corresponding ID's.

Solution 1

There is in fact a Microsoft API for manipulating Office documents in .NET. No-one will write the code for you, if you want that, go to the jobs board and offer to pay someone to do it.
