Hi,
I'm totally new to macros in Excel and I'm hoping there's an easy solution to my problem. Any help is much appreciated.... Here's my problem: I have a workbook. *Each sheet in the workbook is a day in a tour itinerary, formatted in such a way that it'll look pretty when printed out. *Each sheet is layed out in the same way, eg. Cell D4 is the venue name, Cell F5 is the street address, etc. *The number of sheets may change from tour to tour I want to end up with a CSV file in which each line is the relevant data from each sheet. My plan was to do the following: *create 2 new sheets at the end of the workbook (I can do this bit). Let's say they're sheet25 and sheet26 *on the first row of the first new sheet type the CSV headers across the top (so A1 = "venue_name", A2="venue_phone", A3="venue_postcode", etc) *on the row beneath enter the relevant reference cell for the data I need (so if the venue name appears in cell D4 on each sheet then cell B2 will say "D4") I want the macro to act on the second new sheet and do the following: * figure out how many columns contain information (or I could just write this value in another cell which the macro refers to) *for all cells in row A which contain information - set sheet26.Ax equal to sheet25.Ax (i.e. copy the first header row) *then something like.... for ($i=0 ; $i<FinalSheet ; $i++){ for ($j=0 ; $j<FinalHeaderCol ; $j++){ Cell(row=A+$i , col=$j) = Sheet($i).Cell(ref = sheet25.B$j) // so using the value written under the header row as a reference for the cell to take the value from } } I wish I could explain it better. I'm sure it's not a difficult task, my problem is knowing the right syntax to use and how to take a value from a Cell and use that as a reference for the lookup of another cell. Thanks for your help, Joe |
