I have two excell tables I'm working with one table is 15 wide (O) and the other is 6(F) both tables have data I need both have col (A) with the same data. How would I merge the two tables into one keeping only one of the (A) fields?
 
Just use a vlookup on the colA data
In col P
=if(isna(vlookup(A2,othersheet!$A$2:$F$1000,2,false)),"",vlookup(A2,othersheet!$A$2:$F$1000,2,false))

where the last row of your data in the "otherSheet" is 1000
In Q, change the 2 to a 3, in R, to a 4 etc etc
