On Sheet3, I have a current range set at B3:B10 (it'a actually a range
object variable, like sht3BRange, but it's those cells). In Column A is a list of values that I need to look up in a range in Sheet1, and where there is a match, put the value from 3 cells to the right in Sheet1's range into my sht3BRange in the right spot. Here's the complication, though; I need to do this from Sheet1, I can't start from Sheet3. A brief overview: Sheet3 doesn't exist at first. Sheet1 has a bunch of test reults that are related in groups, but aren't all in the same groups: Test1-A Salt 3 Chlorine 5 Test1-B Iron 2 Calcium 4 Test2-A VitC 1 Iron 3 So Test1-A and Test1-B are my related groups. My Sheet3 will (hopefully) have: Mineral Test1 Test2 Iron 2 3 VitC 1 Calcium 4 Chlorine 5 Salt 3 So I write Sheet3 as I get Tests from Sheet1, but I have to group them (Test1's, regardless of the -[letter] all go together, and they aren't necessarily in order, either. It's possible Sheet 1 will have a Test1-A, then a Test2-A, then a Test1-B, and there could be any number of related test groups (A, B, C, etc.). My Sheet3 Starts with populating column A with all items tested, across all groups. Then what I'm doing is using Find in Sheet1 to go down the column that has the Test headers (Test1-A, Test1-B, etc.), and where there is Test1, then I'm setting a range that includes the values underneath, and then I to go into Sheet3, make my new Test1 column header, and find a match in the 1st column of Sheet3 for the 1st column in my Sheet1's temporary range , and put the related value in my Sheet3's Test1 column. Then I Find the next Test header in Sheet1, go through THAT range, put the values in Sheet3 under Test1, etc. Right now I use Find in Sheet 1 to get my 1st Test Header, getting the range, and then using Vlookup to find a match from my range in Sheet3's Column A. Where I'm stuck is, since I'm not doing the Vlookup from Sheet3, I can't figure out how to put my data in the right row where the match was. What I have so far is: For Each cell In MySheet1Range '(which I just made after finding "Test1") If Not IsError(Application.VLookup(cell.Value, SHeet3Column1Range, 1, False)) Then Sheet3.Cells(cell.Row, Range(MyTest1Column).Column).Value = Application.VLookup(cell.Value, MySheet1Range, 3, False) End If Next cell I get a 1004 error at the Sheet3.cells line. 1) Am I doing this in a really dumb way? I'm writing the Sheet3 as I go, it's not already built, so that's why I'm not doing Vlookups from there; When I go through Test Headers in Sheet1 with my Find, if there's a Test1, then I make the Test1 column in Sheet3, and then I have to put the values in from the (1 or several) Test1 groups in Sheet1 2) If I'm not doing it in a dumb way, I think part of my problem is that I'm using the cell.row to get the row in Sheet3, but it's using the cell.row from Sheet1, and I can't figure out how to get the right row the match is in Sheet3 Thanks for any help on this. I've used Find a little bit, but can't figure out how to apply it here instead of Vlookup. I appreciate any help |
