xls - Is there some kind of option to merge Excel files by column IDs? -


what mean is, if have:

f1.xls

product id / product name  1          / 12     2          / 13,64 

f2.xls

name_id / name_val     12      / aaa     13      / bbb     64      / ccc 

can somehow merge them to:

product id / product name     1          / aaa     2          / bbb    / ccc     ? 

if have several values in 1 cell separated comma, "product name" data sample suggests, difficult process formula. need provide more data sample above.

it looks expect several values output in 1 cell. again, not accomplished.

i suggest step constructing hypothetical solutions based on assumptions may or may not met excel.

instead, please explain bigger picture. trying achieve? not "merge 2 files". reason makes want merge files?

my answer shot down because i'm asking questions clarification , not providing 'real' answer, in order started on question, need provide lot more background , did not want comments.

post more detail real situation. post bigger picture. edit question , provide detail.
