Copy/paste similar data from multiple files into one file with multiple tabs

Hi All,

 

I am having trouble getting started on a workflow. The goal of the workflow is to take data from 2 different spreadsheets and create one spreadsheet with multiple tabs. Each of the tabs on the new spreadsheet will include data from spreadsheet 1 and spreadsheet 2 with a common invoice number. Each tab of the spreadsheet will be a different invoice number.

 

I included example files below. The goal is: Take data from invoice 1234 from File 1 and File 2 and paste data into a new sheet with data from original File 1 and File 2 next to each other. Repeat the same process for invoice 45678 and create a new tab on the same spreadsheet as invoice 1234.

 

Both files 1 and 2 will include a large amount of data, so using a filter with a specific invoice number will likely not be possible.

 

Any assistance in getting started on this is greatly appreciated. I have not worked on a flow with a simple copy/paste with similar data so not quite sure how to get started on this!

 

Thanks,

Steve
