In Excel, I have a spreadsheet that pulls data from a SQL Database into a table and then generates a report based on that data. Unfortunately, the data in this SQL database is incomplete and I want to include additional rows in the result set that are entered manually into the spreadsheet.
As much as I would like to, I can't just manually insert these extra rows into the table because they would get deleted whenever Excel pulls new data from the SQL Database. So instead, I'm considering creating a separate table with the same column headings on a new sheet and entering the data there, and then creating a third table on another sheet that somehow combines the rows from the table that pulls data from SQL and the table where I enter data manually. How can I accomplish this? (Or alternately, is there a better way of doing this that I'm somehow missing?)
Example:
Table 1 (From Database):
| Person | Week Of | Task | Hours |
| Bob | 1/6/13 | Foo | 12 |
| Mary | 1/6/13 | Foo | 7 |
| Mary | 1/6/13 | Bar | 5 |
| John | 1/6/13 | Foo | 5 |
| John | 1/13/13 | Foo | 13 |
-
Table 2 (Entered Manually):
| Person | Week Of | Task | Hours |
| Bob | 1/6/13 | Baz | 3 |
| Mary | 1/6/13 | Baz | 2 |
| John | 1/13/13 | Baz | 5 |

Result:
| Person | Week Of | Task | Hours |
| Bob | 1/6/13 | Foo | 12 |
| Mary | 1/6/13 | Foo | 7 |
| Mary | 1/6/13 | Bar | 5 |
| John | 1/6/13 | Foo | 5 |
| John | 1/13/13 | Foo | 13 |
| Bob | 1/6/13 | Baz | 3 |
| Mary | 1/6/13 | Baz | 2 |
| John | 1/13/13 | Baz | 5 |
