Default Find data and copy and paste

I would like help locating the Code listed in column B (example of
code.."BG47")from the olddata sheet, copy the date located in column F and
paste it into the currentdata sheet into column J where the same Code from
column B from olddata sheet is found in column B of the currentdata sheet
keeping the same date format.


In column J, use a formula like

=VLOOKUP(B2,'OldData Sheet'!B:F,5,False)

and format that cell as a date. Then copy the formula down to match your data in column B.

I'd then like to have a formula put into
column K2 to last row showinf the difference in days between column J and F.


In K2, use the formula

=ABS(J2-F2)

and copy down to match your data.

Finally I'd like to bold rows on currentdata sheet that have column B data
ends with numbers 50 or 00


Select the cells that you want to format that way, then use Conditional Formatting with the custom
formula

=OR(RIGHT($B2,2)="00",RIGHT($B2,2)="50")

and sort ascending 1st by column E dates if it
exists and 2nd by column D which always exists.


Select the table and do the sort.
