Hi

I am using a VLookup to find a show a match in column A from a lis
contained in another file. The lookup works fine, however, I want t
automate the task by using a Macro. I can copy and paste the looku
formula down the remaining cells in column A but my problem is tha
this file is loaded on a regular basis and does not necessarily hav
the same number of rows in it the next time it is loaded. I need t
copy the lookup into the last active cell in column A. Any suggestion
would be much appreciated.

A number of get-arounds:

1 - use a named range for the vlookup. Redefine the named range from
macro then go
2 - use the range right down to the bottom of the spreadsheet (this i
the easiest workaround). ie to row 65536. You don't need to worry ho
many rows there are now.
3 - use code to look it up. Depends on what else you're doing.
4 - get a macro to update your vlookup formula depending on the numbe
of rows by using string manipulations to make the C3:F2000 bit.


I'm sure there's more but I use 2 unless there are other thing
happening making the other things worth doing
