Setting one Column's Value Based On Another Column
I have a "pair" of columns that exist in many different spreadsheets that
our group receives data in. They are always in the same order, but not always in the actual columns, i.e. compo is always the column just before curorg, but they don't always live in columns D and E. What I need to do is set the value of compo based on curorg. I was trying to modify a macro given to me for cleaning up ssn's with missing leading zeros. In other words I would like to just select the two columns and have whatever is already in compo replaced with the proper value, if curorg is a 1 or S or U then set compo to '1, and so forth. There are currently 19 values that could exist in curorg and 3 values ('1, '2, '3) that would map to those curorg's and be inserted into the compo column. I hope this makes sense. Bruce |

Setting one Column's Value Based On Another Column
Bruce,
No, it doesn't make sense - or, at least, your question isn't clear. Post a small example of the table before and the table after, and that will help us help you.

Bruce,
Sounds like you are trying to locate the column number for "compo" If "compo" is a header and headers are on row 1 Dim col as Long col = worksheetfunction.Match("compo"),Rows(1),0) Use caution - if compo isn't there - the match function will return an error. once you have the column number - you can build your code... -- steveB Remove "AYN" from email to respond "Bruce Martin" wrote in message ...
