Hello all,

I'm a complete newbie to macro's and am hoping there is someone out there generous enough to offer some help, because I'm confused!

Basically I am trying to work through a list with several hundred entries, I need to find the corresponding value in another worksheet in the same workbook. I want to search the second worksheet "Total" using the values in cell "A2" from the original worksheet "Active" (going down the column as I progress). I would then like to copy the results from the same row as the result but in column E and paste that into the "Active" worksheet in cell "F2".

I've been trawling through books and sites and so far I've come up with the below, but this may be way off the mark:

Sub 1()

Worksheets("Active Vs Blank").Activate
Range("A2").Copy
Worksheets("Total Enrolments").Activate
Cells.Find(What:=Paste, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
'Need to move to the column E in the same row
ActiveCell.Copy
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination = Worksheets("Active Vs Blank").Range("F2")
End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just the title of books/sites that could help, and of course I will provide more info if needed.

Thanks in advance

Adie
