Document merging
My problem is simple, but the explanation isnt that much...
I have a document called base.xls, and its composed of two columns. Column A is the string key, and column B is the string translation. Now i have a series of other documents that are composed of several columns, but then again columna A is the string key, and column D is the string translation. What i need to do is to create a routine at base.xls that can be used to compare column A from both documents, and if they match, put on the D cell of the second kind of document the text that is in the B cell of base.xls Also, i need to be able to change what document im comparing, because i have like 5 or 6 of the type 2 documents every week, and all need the string translation . Could anyone help me? |

Hi Remo,
Try this macro: Sub StrKeyFill() sectypewb = InputBox("Please, enter the path and name of the second type workbook (without extension)!") Workbooks.Open Filename:=sectypewb & ".xls" lastrow = Cells.Find("*", [A1], , , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row Range("D2").Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-3],[base.xls]Sheet1!R2C1:R5C2,2,FALSE)" Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("D2:D" & lastrow), Type:=xlFillDefault End Sub It basically does the job, though it can be further refined, e.g. to check the existence of the second type file, etc. Regards, Stefi €˛Remo Turchetti€¯ ezt Ć*rta: My problem is simple, but the explanation isnt that much...
