| I am having trouble joining information from a spreadsheet provided to me by another department with an existing table.The spreadsheet lays out work queues an employee is responsible for with the queues broken down by client.The problem is, the client breakdown is done by putting each client in their own field.So the table looks like thisQueue | ACA | BCRNeeds Review | Rob | BenBundling | Jay | JenI have another table that has Queue and Client in their own fields.Queue | ClientNeeds Review | ACANeeds Review | BCRBundling | ACABundling | BCRI would like to join the data to end up with a table like the following.Queue | Client | EmployeeNeeds Review | ACA | Rob Needs Review | BCR | BenBundling | ACA | Jay Bundling | BCR | JenIs it possible to do this without changing the format of the spreadsheet? Thank you! |
