Thank you Tom,

I have now gone about creating code to populate the multidimensional
arrays from a text file.

One thing however, when I build an else statement (in other words jump
over a cell that doesn't have any data, it cancels out all other cells
set by the condition).

Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) And IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1))
for i = lbound(v1) to ubound(v1)
if activeCell.value = v1(i) then
activecell.Value = v2(i)
--- Else:

-- activecell.value=""
exit for
end if
Next

How can I fix this?

Thanks alot once again. This is really a helpful group

Hello Members,

I am relatively new with vba and excel and would appreciate how I
could go about cleaning or rather streamlining this akward piece of
code that follows below.

What I would like to accomplish is the following:

Loop through just the cells that contain data (i.e. row 1, col 1, row
2, col 2,etc.). In other words, my data set is set like this:

ICSnumber ATnumber
4 1
2 65
222 3
53 4
75 5
81 6


If the number in row 1 col1 etc. satisfies the condition in the macro,
then, that number is replaced (i.e. 4 1 becomes 1,1 2 65 becomes 2,2
etc.). The macro I have developed works however I like a cleaner piece
of code.

Would greatly appreciate some code example if not suggestions.

Thanks.
