Compare cell value to items in string
 

I need to compare cell values in a column to a comma-delimited string. The
column has ID numbers and the string consists of a comma-delimited string of
ID numbers.

Any help would be appreciated....

Thanks

Compare cell value to items in string
 

Pam,

You've left out a lot of important details, but the following might
get you going in the right direction.

Sub AAA()
Dim R As Range
Dim V As Variant
Dim S As String
S = "11,22,33" '<<<< This is the data to test against
V = Split(S, ",")
For Each R In Range("A1:A10") '<<<< This is the range with data
' put alert in next column right
If IsError(Application.Match(CStr(R.Value), V, 0)) = True Then
R(1, 2) = "no match"
Else
R(1, 2) = "match"
End If
Next R
End Sub

Compare cell value to items in string
 

Thanks, Chip! Now I have another problem....this is my code that should copy
a row of data in one worksheet to the first blank row in another worksheet.
The problem is that the second worksheet has an additional column as column
one, so I want to copy worksheet 1 row (which starts on column A) to be
copied to worksheet 2 column B.

Sub check()

Dim stroldstring As String

' create string of "Issues" IDs
Windows("FIS1.18.xls").Activate
Sheets("Issues").Select
Range("B2", Range("B2").End(xlDown)).Select

stroldstring = ""
For Each cell In Selection
stroldstring = stroldstring & "," & Replace(cell.Value, " ", "")
Next

Dim R As Range
Dim V As Variant

V = Split(stroldstring, ",")
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
For Each R In Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown))

If IsError(Application.Match(CStr(R.Value), V, 0)) = True Then
R.EntireRow.Copy Sheets("Issues").Range("B65536").End(xlUp)
.EntireRow.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues


Else

End If
Next R

End Sub

This code still copies to worksheet 2, column A!
