Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Need Calc help

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your suggestion

I know nothing about databases however I just successfully imported an 
xls file into LO's Base. I assume the next step is to import the second 
xls file to create a second table.

Now for the difficult bit - how do I compare the record associated with 
a College Number in one file against the record associated with the same 
College number in the second file (should I be saying Table?)?  And how 
do I  display the data that differs in the two entries for the same 
College Number?

Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Preston
