BLENDING DIFFERENT DATA SOURCES IN A
SINGLE WORKSHEET
If your data isn’t in one place,blending provides a
viable way to quickly create a left-join-like
connection between your primary and secondary
datasources.
Blends are more fragile than joins.
They persist only on the worksheet page on which
they are created.
Blends offer a different kind of flexibility—the
ability to alter the primary datasource for each
worksheet page
HOW TO CREATE DATA BLEND
Creating data blends requires a little planning. If
you are going to bring data that doesn’t reside in
your primary datasource you have to think about
what field(s) you may need in order to achieve the
desired result.
There are two ways you can create a blend—the
automatic method or manually defining the blend .
