Merging 2 Excel files to one by leveraging a common column in each (key column)

[lingenit]

Hi,

I have 2 separate Excel files and within each of the 2 files, each has a data table. I am trying to develop a flow that combines the two tables by leveraging a column that both tables have in common (key column). I am trying to merge these two tables horizontally, so essentially adding the columns from the first table onto the end of the second table, by matching them with the column they have in common (almost like a vlookup function). 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @lingenit ,

Do you want to merge the data in Table 2 into Table 1 based on the common key columns?

You could add the columns that need to be updated to Table 1 in advance and use the "Update a row" action to update Table 1 by comparing the values of the common columns. I have test for your reference, please try the following workaround:
