VLOOKUP
 

Using Excel 97

I have another software program that produces a parts
list (Column A) and a corresponding quantity (Column B)

I need to look up a part number in column A (part No
109000) and set its quantity to zero (column B).

I can manually set a formula in another cell (column
C) "IF(A17=109000,(VLOOKUP(A17,$A$17:$B$1000,2,FALSE) ))"
and "drag" the formula into the cells beneath in its
column.

This function gives a value of value of "0" as required
if the part number equals 109000 and returns the correct
quantity of all other part numbers until the second parts
list is encountered then it all goes up in smoke!!!!

Ultimately I need to .:-

1) get the second, third etc parts list to work
2) and secondly try to automate this in to a code module

Any ideas???

VLOOKUP
 

WAYNE,
Why Vlookup? Just use
=IF(A17=109000,0,B17)

VLOOKUP
 

I think one manual way of doing this is to apply data|filter|autofilter.

Filter on just the (one?) part number that should be 0 and change it manually.

If I wanted a macro, I think I'd use the Find method (like Edit|Find):

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()
Dim FoundCell As Range
Dim FirstAddress As String
Dim FindWhat As String

FindWhat = "109000"

With Worksheets("sheet1").Range("a:a")
Set FoundCell = .Cells.Find(what:=FindWhat, _
after:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, lookat:=xlWhole)

If FoundCell Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else

FirstAddress = FoundCell.Address
Do
FoundCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = 0
Set FoundCell = .FindNext(FoundCell)
Loop While Not FoundCell Is Nothing _
And FoundCell.Address < FirstAddress
End If
End With
End Sub

This is pretty much taken out of the help for Find.
