Creating a Ranged Join

Info
titleINFO

A ranged join is similar to a simple join but has additional versatility. Instead of joining worksheets using an exact matching key column, you can specify a range (greater than, less than) between two worksheet key columns.

Data types allowed by a range join are limited to dates and geolocations, e.g.

Sheet 1

UserTime
Jeff17/10/2015
Mike17/10/2015

Sheet 2

ValueTime
4534518/10/2015
9238319/10/2015

Create a range join by Sheet 1.Time is less than Sheet 2.Time. Deselect Sheet 2.Time under "Included Columns".

Sheet1.UserSheet1.TimeSheet2.Value
