thusly: This is my problem: First file A B C 1 x a 2 y b 3 z c 4 q d 5 w 3 Second file: A B C 1 2 3 4 5 Now i need to create something to search first file and when it finds that in row 2 value in column C is b, it needs to copy value b and paste it in second file in row 2 under column C. Are we to presume the files are both open? I hope so. Natively, Excel would want them to be. There are add-in functions that can get around that, though. The next question is, are you really only looking for "b" in Column C? Or is that just an example of something more complex? Anyway, what you've said so far doesn't seem all that "complicated" to me, provided both workbooks are open and you really only want Column C to display any "b" values it finds from that columnn in the other book. As one way, in C1, and drag down as needed in Column C: =IF([Book1]Sheet1!$C1="b",[Book1]Sheet1!$C1,"") Substitute the real book name for "Book1"; substitute the real sheet name for "Sheet1". -dman- |
