sort and matching cells
 

have list of numbers(col 1) then another list of number (col 2) with
initials attached in col3

need a way to orgonize them so match up

so
BEFO

col1 col2 col 3
23 45 cd
45 12 cd
98 75 ag
56 84 cj
75
84
12

AFTER:

col1 col2 col3

12 12 cd
23
45 45 cd
56
75 75 ag
84 84 cj
98

I wrote it out in c++ code as

Array sales [400]
matrix reso[1000x2] //1000 rows 2 col
final[400x2]

int
counter;
search;
I;
Boolean
Found

Begin{

counter = 0;
for search=0; 0 to 400; search++;
{
i = 0;
found = false ;
while found = false
{
if sales[search] = = reso[i][0]
{
final[counter][0] = reso[i][0];
final[counter][1] = reso[i][1];
counter++;
found = true;
}
i++;
}
if counter%5=0
cout << “Found “ << counter << “ so far” <<;
}
}end;

sort and matching cells
 

various ways to do it:

1.
sort the first column. Use record macro to record the sort to give a
indication of the code
sort columns 2 and 3
then use a range object (dim rngColA as range) and set it to the firs
cell in column a
Use a second range object to point to the first cell in column B then
if rngColA=rngColB move the pointers down (use set rng=rng.offset(1))
if they don't match insert cells moving rows down(again a record macr
should show you how to do this)
when you get to the end all is ok.

2. sort the first column and use a vlookup to match the other valuse

3. open the spreadsheet using ADO or DAO and execute an SQL query o
it. This is my preferred method if there is lots of data to work with

Try

Sub DataMatch()
Dim lRow As Long
Dim vDat As Variant
Dim vPos As Variant

With Range("A3").CurrentRegion
'Put the current values in an array
vDat = .Value

'Match up
For lRow = 2 To UBound(vDat)
vPos = Application.Match(.Cells(lRow, 1), .Columns(2), 0)
If Not IsError(vPos) Then
vDat(lRow, 2) = .Cells(vPos, 2)
vDat(lRow, 3) = .Cells(vPos, 3)
ElseIf Not IsEmpty(.Cells(lRow, 2)) Then
vDat(lRow, 2) = Empty
vDat(lRow, 3) = Empty
End If
Next

'Dump & Sort the result
With .Offset(, .Columns.Count + 1)
.Value = vDat
.Sort .Cells(1), xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
End With
End With

End Sub
