How to replace cell value based on other cell's value using macro
Dear all,
I have 2 excel files. The first file is the main file that have transactions. The other file contain static data which is a list of full code, description & short code. How do i create a macro to replace the full code(ColumnC) in main file with description(ColumnB) found in the static data file? But change the full code(ColumnC) in the main file only if the value in ColumnB is SOLID and the first 2 character in full code(ColumnC) is equal to short code(ColumnC) in the static data file.The following is the scenario for better understanding. Thanks in advance for any help given. Main file: ColumnA ColumnB ColumnC XY12083 SOLID HHIY LK02491 TEMP HYTO BGY1232 SOLID BSVV UYTB981 SAMPEL JIEI Static data file: ColumnA ColumnB ColumnC HHIY Household HH HHXS Household HH BSVV Bookstore BS BSKY Bookstore BS SPTB Sports SP SPMI Sport SP Expected output in the main file: ColumnA ColumnB ColumnC XY12083 SOLID Household LK02491 TEMP HYTO BGY1232 SOLID Bookstore UYTB981 SAMPEL JIEI |

This will return #N/A if there is no match of the first two letters in column C of Main Data, with Column C of Static Data |

Thanks for the feedback.[/QUOTE *** IGNORE THIS - I FOUND A MUCH SIMPLER METHOD OF ACHIEVING WHAT I NEED THROUGH A SIMPLE VLOOKUP FORMULA - THANKS ANYWAY! *** Hi I have a requirement to do the same thing but with a slight twist! I tried to edit your code to make it work but am very new to this and am not having much success: I have one workbook called "code" and the worksheets within it: Output Code Data In the Data sheet I have Column A as a part number "ARCP" in Column B I have the long description of what ARCP relates to "Anderson Premier" then in Column C I have the next part of the code (a colour option) "B" then Column D is the long colour description "B" and so on. The data sheet looks like this: RANGE RESULT COLOUR RESULT SIZE RESULT ARCP Anderson Pro B Black S Small I have 6 different parts of the code in the Data sheet and then in the column immediately to the right of each code section is the long description Then: In the Code worksheet I have set up 6 columns for each of the 6 parts of the code (columns A to F) and a further 6 columns to the right of those for the long description (I to N) What I would like to be able to do is type in a short code in columns A to F and the long description to automatically populate using the data worksheet as a reference point. Finally: I would like to concatenate the 6 columns (A to F) into column A on the "output" worksheet and similarly rows I to N into Row B on the "output" worksheet in order to provide a customer friendly parts list with part code and description. The last bit I guess is relatively straight forward but I am really struggling with how to get the code to reference what I have entered in the codes sheet with that of the data sheet and insert the result into the relevant columns of the codes sheet. Any assistance you could provide would ba massively appreciated Thanks in advance! Last edited by cpatz : November 17th 12 at 12:56 PM Reason: Problem Solved! |
