how to find last value in a column, and replace data

Hi,

 

In the attached file "UH data", I want to go to last date (11/17/2020) and do vlookup of this date with date in "Med" file and copy all data from "Med" after that date. This data (after data 11/17/2020 in this case) will replace existing data in UH data file. Both columns (date and amount) needs to be replaced.

Not really. All values after date 11/17/2020 in file Med should be copied to UH date file and replace existing data in it. Hope this clarifies. Thank you!

Sorry, seems I did it the other way around.

Does it also deletes existing data in UH data completely. I want that to happen

Hi @abagga ,

 

Would something like this work for you?

I have added the output tool in a container box, but essentially once you activate it it will overwrite the data in the UH input file.

 

Hope that helps,

 

Regards,

 

Angelos
