Hello,

I have a VBA problem that I cannot seem to get my head round. I have two sheets (aptly named A and B).

In Sheet A I have a list of names with costings (values) to the right.
In Sheet B I have a list of names with no costings (values) to the right.

I would like to design a Macro that will take the first name in Sheet A, find that name in Sheet B, copy the costings associated with that name in Sheet A and paste them in Sheet B.

From there, the Macro should proceed to select the next name down on Sheet A, and do the same.

So it would be a loop until the names on Sheet A are done.

Please not thatm some names on Sheet B, may not appear on Sheet A and vice versa

Thank you in advance

Hi

you can do it without a macro
Put the following formula in cell B1 of sheet 2 (Assumes the name is in column A)
=if(iserror(vlookup(A1,sheet1!A:A,2,false) ),"",vlookup(A1,sheet1!A:A,2,false)) and drag it down

If you want a macro record your above activity

Hey thanks for that. I ended up using the Index & Match function which worked well.

Awesome!!

=if(iserror(vlookup(A1,sheet1!A:A,2,false) ),"",vlookup(A1,sheet1!A:A,2,false))
