Excel Question

Is anyone here really good with excel? I want to do something, but I'm not sure how to do it.

I have multiple worksheets with different information in them regarding a common contact id. How do I combine them into one worksheet so that all of the data is in one place.

Each worksheet has a contact_id field with the contact number in it.The first worksheet has contact id, first name, last name, title, company. The second worksheet has contact id, address, city, state, zip, and country. The first worksheet has all the contacts in it but the second worksheet does not. Therefore, I need to add the address information when it's available for a contact, but skip it if there is nothing there.

I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you need anything clarified.

Quick post, because I'm up way past bedtime, and being sick won't help me to wake up tomorrow. Bleh:

Tinker with the "Paste Special" option (Edit -> Paste Special, or right-click to get it).
For example, pasting Values will just copy the data that's in the cells, but any formulas will be lost.

Are there lots of links between pages, or is it just raw data?
 
It's all raw data. No formulas at all.

For example

Worksheet 1
contact id - first name - last name - title - company
1 - krazy - 4real - lulz - krazyness.com
2 - jeff - seven - LOL - ikariam
3 - anand - tech - OT - ATOT

worksheet 2
contact id - address - city - state - zip - country
1 - 1 way ave. - chicago - IL - 60101 - USA
3 - 1337 ATOT ln. - ny city - NY - 55555 - USA

So when combined it looks like this

contact id - first name - last name - title - company - address - city - state - zip - country
1 - krazy - 4real - lulz - krazyness.com - 1 way ave. - chicago - IL - 60101 - USA
2 - jeff - seven - LOL - ikariam
3 - anand - tech - OT - ATOT - 1337 ATOT ln. - ny city - NY - 55555 - USA

Does that make more sense?
