outer join in MS Excel

Question

do you have an idea how to join two tables with the outer join ? Know to do this in SQL, but I need Excel now.

I have a list of all employees in one column I have a

Answer 1

the simple way (maybe the only way?) would be with intermediate cells:

in "results" worksheet:

  A,         B,            C              D
fernando, vlookup(...), vlookup(...), =if(ISNA(B2),""), =if(ISNA(B2),"deafult2)

then hide cols C and B

Edit:

Actually there's something close: Pivot Table. You can organize the data in such a way that non-refered cells will stay empty.

But that's a different solution than formulas - it might not fit, depends on your usage.
