hi,
i'm trying to use vlookup in vba, bt i can't get it to work. here's the thing:

Dim count As Integer
Dim n As Integer
Dim table As String
Dim look As String
Dim column As Integer

count = Workbooks("BDs").Worksheets("bd_lx").Range("A2").V alue
column = 3
For n = 4 To count
look = Workbooks("BDs").Worksheets("bd_lx").Range("B" & n).Value
table = Workbooks("BDs").Worksheets("bd_lx").Range("A" & n).Value

Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(look, rg, column, False).Select
Selection.Copy
Range("B:" & n).Select
Selection.End(xlRight).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Next n

is it 'cause the variable array? and probably is not a range?
how can i put it right?

thanks a million,

Vlookup returns string or number from column 3 - not the location of the
cell. Use match in conjunction with your rg

this assumes rg is a single column range object.

if it is an array, you can't use range methods like Copy and select

res = application.Match(look, rg, 0)
if not iserror(res) then
rg(res).Select

or
rg(res,3).Select

Clarify what rg is
