You have posted this message to the wrong newsgroup.
The access in this groups name refers to Microsoft Access, a database
program.
Please repost to the correct newsgroup for the Excel version you are
using. I would suggest you include your Windows and Office version
number in the message.

Hare Krishna,

You didn't say whether you would like to use Access to do this. If so,
create linked tables to each sheet and use an update query similar to
the following:

UPDATE S2 INNER JOIN S1
ON S2.SERVER = S1.SERVER
SET S2.OWNER = S1.OWNER


If you would like to do this with Excel this isn't the best place to ask
the question, but I would suggest VLOOKUP will probably work.

Namaste,
