Need some help with codes
 

I currently use an old macro program (.xlm) to extract the closing prices
and their volumes for a list of 20 stock codes from the daily market price
list which has thousands of stock codes. I am trying to re-write the same
program using VBA which I am beginning to learn and therefore need your
help. Let's say the two documents are as named below:

MyList MarketList

ABC AAB
DEF ABC
GHI CDEF
JKL DEF
. . . . . .
XYZ ZZZZ

The codes I need here a
1. To read "ABC" on MyList (don't need it to be displayed) then locate its
position on the MarketList.
2. After reading "DEF" on MyList, if it then finds "CDEF", it should keep
retrying until an exact match is found.
3. The program stops on reading the blank cell after "XYZ".

What the program does is extract some specified data from MarketList to
MyList.
My thanks for any help or alternative suggestions.

Hi,

Try to use formula VLOOKUP
or Auto filter but if you want to use VBA to make it done for specified
things, it will be need some criterias you define.
