Joining numbers with multiple criteria fields

Hi, Im struggling with a problem for which I thought the solution might be quite easy.. However haven't found it, so I'm trying this great medium again..

 

Situation:

I have 2 different data sheets.

 

The first contains 4 columns

Name of playlist

Name of song

Nr of plays

Date

 

 

The seconds contains these columns

Name of playlist

Name of song

Position

Date

 

So, the obvious question is; How can I add the Position to the first sheet. Therefor it has to match both Name of the playlist, Name of the song and the Date.

 

I tried the Join en Union function here, but it looks like it fails to match with multiple criteria.

 

Thanks again for your help.

 

Best

Join does seem appropriate for this. Could you provide sample data where you would expect a match but aren't getting one?

 

Lacking that, a wild guess might be different date formats in the two files.

Hi,

Yes, Join was the solution; I just missed out that you can select more than one matching fields.

thanks.
