matching problem using VBA - 2
 

dear all/tom,
you mean i need to put the code from update table to working table?
then from there do vlookup?
can you tell with vba?
pls help.
thanks



Think you would need to add a category column to the original data which
assigned it to your summary categories or an equivalency table.

You can put in formulas like

=sumif(Sheet1!A:A,"*shell*",Sheet1!B:B)

but I suspect each would have to be custom built.

Dear All,
I have this problem.
1)how to map each other as the commonly sharing information only by
description but yet not fully mapped. for example, working table desc
is shell plate whereas update table is carbon steel - shell plate.
2) even same material in working table also can have different desc.
notice SA516, same material but different desc.

can anyone out there help me on this?
thanks alot

desc material price
SHELL PLATE SA516 50
SHELL PLATE SA516 40
SKIRT SUPPORT SA516 30
FLANGES SA709 100
GASKETS SA123 75
GASKETS SA123 20
