It maybe the line wrapped. The full line look like the code below. Make
sure the continuation character is at the end of each line (_ underscore) and
there are no blank line between the contuation lines. You can also remove
the continuation character a put the entire statement on one line. This
website has problems with long lines of code.

lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, ActiveCell.Column). _
End(xlUp).Row

Hi Joel. I did run the macro with the 3 files already opened. When I
stepped through the code and pressed F8, I got the message "compile error
variable not defined" in the 2nd row of the code

lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, ActiveCell.Column). _

What am I missing? I truly appreciate your help.

The code assumes all 3 files are already opened. try opening up the files
before running macro. If that doesn't work then try to step tr\hrough the
code to find problem.

In VBA window, click on any line of the code. Then Press F8. You can step
through the code to find where the hyperlink is coming from.

Hi Joel. Thank you so much for your help. I'm still having problems and
I'm very new to Excel Macros.

I cut and pasted your macro into the vb macro editor and saved it. Then,
when I ran it, it brought up an "insert hyperlink" screen and nothing else.
Do I have to delete spaces in the vb editor? Is there anything in the code
you gave me that is an instruction for me that should not be in the saved
"cull" macro?

Thanks for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have 3 excel documents.
1 has single column with 20 rows containing unique numbers.
2nd has 8 columns with 936 rows
3rd is blank

I want to write a macro that will copy an individual number in the first
document, search for it in the 2nd document, copy the entire row holding that
number from the 2nd and paste it into the 3rd blank document and cursor down
one row. I then want it to go back to the 1st document cursor down one row
and end.

When I try to write the macro, it records the first number from the first
document within the macro, so it won't automatically search for the document
within the row I am in.

I think I'm almost there and I'm probably missing something pretty obvious.
Any help would be appreciated.
