The problem is that there is not going to be a vlookup value for all active
cells. When you run this is excel t returns a value of #N/A but in VBA it
returns an error. Do you know how to get around the error so it keeps
running the macro?

Try the below

Dim srccom As Range

ActiveCell.Value = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(Range("A" & _
ActiveCell.Row), srccom, 5, 0)

Returns

thank Luke,

However I need more help if you could. For the second argument it is going
to be an another workbook called "sourcedata". the range is from F1 to the
furthers column to the right and the furthest row down. How would I write
that?

so far I have

ActiveCell.Value = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(Cells(ActiveCell, "A"),
soourcedata.xls.range(F1,..........), 4, False)

Not even sure if any of the second argument is correct.

thanks

I am trying to use vlookup in a macro. I have to use

ActiveCell.Value = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(........)

because the active cell is in a column that will continuously move to the
right. Therefore I can not use a static command.

For the first argument of the vlookup how can I have it reference the cell
is column A of the same row. If I can get that part I think I can get the
rest.

Thanks
