Align matching cells of two different columns
I have two columns that contain computer names. One Column C is 330 rows and
Column D is 452. What I would like to happen is to align the names in C with their matches in D. I'm guessing I need the HLOOKUP but am not sure how to use it. I've been able to figure out a formula to tell me if the two cells match or not: =IF(C2=D2,"GOOD","BAD") Here is a sample of my data: Matches MachineName Device GOOD 10VHQB1 10vhqb1 BAD 12WFB21 12yt2d1 BAD 12YT2D1 14yh051 GOOD 15YT2D1 15yt2d1 GOOD 180W2D1 180w2d1 |

Maybe a better example of data would be:
Matches MachineName Device GOOD 10VHQB1 10vhqb1 BAD 12WFB21 12yt2d1 BAD 12YT2D1 14yh051 I want the Device column to scoot down one row so 12YT2D1 ends up on the same row.

Align matching cells of two different columns
I answered my own question. Guess I should have changed the question for
here.....I needed to copy/paste data based off a matching cell. Here is the code: I have an Excel Workbook with two work sheets. It is a bunch of information about some of our computers. The first sheet has about 348 rows and the second one has about 480 rows. Each sheet has a little bit different information. One may have the user name and the other has the phone number. I wanted a way to make Excel (since I'm so lazy) compare the first column of each sheet. This column has the unique computer name. I wanted it to look at these two columns and when it finds a match copy/paste that row next to it's match on the other sheet. Sub FindRowAndCopy() ' Use the first column of the CurrentRegion for lookup values ' Find matches on another sheet and copy the row back ' to the matching row on the active sheet Dim ActiveSht As Worksheet Dim FindMatchOnSht As Worksheet Dim myCell As Range Dim PasteCol As Integer Dim LastCol As Integer Dim r As Long Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'use Sheet2 for finding matches Set FindMatchOnSht = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2") With ActiveSheet 'Use the first column of the range with the cellpointer for lookup values 'Change the columns(1) value to use a different column Set rng = Intersect(ActiveCell.CurrentRegion, .Columns(1)) 'Find the last column with data and add 1 (one way to do it) 'assumes column 256 is blank PasteCol = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 256).End(xlToLeft).Column + 1 End With For Each cell In rng 'search the first column on the sheet for the first match 'change the Columns(1) to search a different column Set myCell = FindMatchOnSht.Columns(1).Find(What:=cell.Value, _ LookIn:=xlValues, _ LookAt:=xlWhole) If Not myCell Is Nothing Then 'If a match is found r = myCell.Row LastCol = FindMatchOnSht.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Colu mn 'Copy and paste the row FindMatchOnSht.Range(FindMatchOnSht.Cells(r, 1), _ FindMatchOnSht.Cells(r, LastCol)).Copy _ ActiveSheet.Cells(cell.Row, PasteCol) End If Next cell Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub "John Desselle" wrote: Maybe a better example of data would be: Matches MachineName Device GOOD 10VHQB1 10vhqb1 BAD 12WFB21 12yt2d1 BAD 12YT2D1 14yh051 I want the Device column to scoot down one row so 12YT2D1 ends up on the same row.
