need advice or suggestions how to sync two excel based database. The two database have same fields such as "ID", "title", "description", "price", "quality" etc. The first one is old database, while the second one is updated database with some data changed, and some new records entered. I want to have a simple way of updating the old database with the new database. I can't simply replace the database because there are some records in the old database I need to keep. (so the old database could have 1000 records, while the new dababase could have only 500 records). The automation need to be done is like:

1. for each record_ID in database_new,

2. find the same record_ID in database_old,

3. update the record in database_old with information from database_new if there are changes in the record (such as price or description or quality);

4. save database_old.

Is there a way to achieve this through functions in Excel? Or any other methods... suggestions?
